steve: there are and they are spreading. they only test a fraction of the number of people who actually get tested. i got a test yesterday. they did not check for omicron. ainsley: we were wondering why it takes four days to determine the variant you have. we had a doctor on yesterday who said they don't test. every time you go in and if you test positive, they do not test necessarily for the variant. brian: you note funniest thing is when president biden came out yesterday and said i have got a winter plan. we kind of went over this yesterday about boosters and vaccines. steve: travel. brian: he brought up the fact that now 70% of the people have gotten double vaccinated and factor in natural immunity we are up to herd immunity. i don't know what everyone is complaining and talking about. how much progress he made in a year wife this got politicized he doesn't know. well, let's listen and see if you read between the lines. >> plan i'm announcing today pulls no punches in the fight against covid-19. it's a plan that i think should reunite us. i know covid-19 has been very divisive in this country, it's become a political issue, which is sad, sad commentary. it shouldn't be. but it has been. now as we move into winter and face the challenges of this new variant, this is a moment we can put the divisives behind us. brian: how did it become political? i'm sure he had nothing to do with it. steve: adjust the rear view mirror. brian: what is he talking about? steve: when he was running for the president the united states he and kamala harris caused a lot of vaccine hesitancy we recognize a year later they both suggested donald trump is in charge of it, we are not going to have it in fact when we had donald trump on our program yesterday he was talking about pandemic politics and how joe biden and kamala harris did in fact poison the well when it documents some people. a year ago they said i'm not going to trust it. a lot of people didn't trust it the former governor of new yorkk state andrew cuomo said something similar. ainsley: ari fleischer the former white house press secretary said he it is the one who made it political. >> he has been all over the map. that's the problem with the president. he said we shouldn't politicize it of course he spent all of 2020 politicizing it. he said he wouldn't support a mandate. he supported a mandate. joe biden has not been a steady leader. he has been a politician on this. brian: even his remarks yesterday were taking shots at trump. we're going to have science and speed not chaos and confusion. he was the one who started getting out the vaccine. there was millions of people had the vaccine even before he took office. and then he says look how much progress we made? they invented the vaccine one month before you took office. of course have you done more vaccines in the last year. ainsley: more people have died under joe biden than they did under president trump. brian: don't bring that up. ainsley: masks in airports are required. masks if you take mass transit until march 18th. it was january 18th. they extended that. steve: probably going to be a lot longer. ainsley: they extended it in august and january and extended it to march and probably extend it forever. focus on boosters, anyone on a flight to the united states has to show proof of a negative covid test within 24 hours of departure. goes into effect next week. makes no difference whether have you been vaxxed or not. giving shots to children under 5. under 5. steve: the u.s. covid plan in europe, austria is in a full lockdown. netherlands are forcing restaurants to close early. germany is barring people from going unvaccinated people from going into places like everywhere except a grocery store, a pharmacy are, or a bakery. you have got to have a vaccine in germany if you want to go shopping for clothes. ainsley: do you know what's interesting? the second case of this variant here in the united states was a guy in minnesota. fully vaxxed. everyone is reporting mild symptoms so far which is great. and all of them -- all the ones i have read about are fully vaxxed. this guy was in new york city. he was at an event with 50,000 attendees from november 19th to the 21st. that means he caught it in the united states. he has not traveled outside of the united states. so there are going to be more cases. brian: see what's going on just in sports alone, people are sitting in stadiums, outside, inside, basketball, hockey, there is no big surge here. we have to learn the message should be learn to live with this. this is how you handle this. and give people a degree of freedom. we are not austria and believe me australia is embarrassing themselves by the way they're acting, alienating their population. we do have high fatality rates, if you look at the country we are in the negative. negative cases, negative deaths, negative hospitalizations. we understand the rules. look at this. the president even pointed out, 86% of seniors have gotten the shot already if you factor in natural immunity which anyone that doesn't have a political bent does we are at herd immunity right now that should be the message. this variant spreads easier but not as virulent not as serious. that is what they told us as they spin out it's easy to catch. but the symptoms are less and less. steve: because there are 50 mutations on this. there's a lot they don't know. one of the things they do know is a lot of people who have apparently had full blown covid are now getting reinfected with this. if you had it before, there's a possibility with the omicron you will get it again. brian: they're not studying breakthroughs you are double vaccinated. steve: just reporting the facts. brian: not recording breakthroughs. are people getting this again who had it? but how about the people that have gotten it and had the double vaccination and getting the delta variant? so for some reason they don't keep stats and bar graphs on things that actually benefit us. we have to go to israel. steve: all right. so, anyway, you are up to date now on the winter plan on this, the third day of the december live from new york. still ahead, alec baldwin opening up for the first time yesterday on tv since the deadly shooting on the set of his movie rust. why he says he does not feel guilty. brian: another terrifying smash and grab or looting on camera. is this organized the white house won't blame the soft on crime policies. >> when a huge group of criminals organizes themselves and they want to go loot a store -- >> -- i think a root cause in a lot of communities is the pandemic, yes. brian: exactly. the latest deflection from democrats. are you buying it?

>> the notion that there was a live round in that gun did not dawn on me probably 45 minutes to an hour later. >> 45 minutes to an hour. >> she is laying down did she get hit by wadding, some have sometimes wadding can come out and feel like a little bit of a poke no. one could understand. did she have a heart attack. remember, the idea that someone put a live bullet in the gun was not even in reality. >> did you go up to her? >> i went up to her and immediately told to get out of the building. formed to get out of the building, the medics came in. ainsley: he says he didn't even pull the trigger. brian: right. watching gun experts say it's impossible. the hammer went back without pulling the trigger? steve: the gun doesn't shoot itself. brian: i don't know. i'm not experienced enough in guns certainly not on set. but, i mean, can a gun go off on its own? bang the side of it? i don't know. but he is putting himself way out there in such explicit play by play of this because there are eyewitnesses that begin to dispute that i'm sure this thing is well thought out. steve: he is hinging his defense on the fact that there was never supposed to be a live bullet anywhere on the property. nowhere. and that's why he was surprised. and that's why when she went down in that very dramatic telling by this professional actor recounting what happened that day, said, you know, i thought she might have fainted or she had a heart attack, never dawned on him that there was a live round there was a live round. the woman is dead. does he feel guilty? watch this. >> you felt shock. you felt anger. you felt sadness. >> yeah. >> do you feel guilt. >> no, no. i feel that there is -- i feel that -- that -- someone is responsible for what happened and i can't say who that is but i know it's not me. i mean, honest to god, if i felt that i was responsible, i might have killed myself if i thought i was responsible. i don't say that lightly. brian: i know he is like one of the top five actors in the country. i don't think that's acting. i just don't. i think that he is totally -- you know, then he went on to talk about how he has six kids. the oldest one -- he has an older child with kim bass sin jerry. i play with them. as soon as their mom walks in i'm invisible. now woman's son has no mother. he says i don't care if i act again. although he is set to do another movie in january. ainsley: he posted a photo of him cradling one of the six children he has had. no matter if i suffer if i lose anything no one can take away the joy and love you have given me at hilaria baldwin. steve: clay travis was on last night. look, he is a guy. is he a professional actor who can cry when he wants to cry. ainsley: what did he do wrong though? if you are on a movie set though. steve: is he responsible. is he one of the producers of the film. ainsley: who set up the props? who set up the gun. steve: the people he hired. ainsley: yeah, maybe. steve: right? he did say. ainsley: how did that live bullet get into a prop gun? that's the question. who put that in there? steve: the armorer, a woman by the name of hanna reed said there is a possibility the bullet was intentionally placed in the gun to sabotage the movie. alec baldwin denied that and so do the investigators. nonetheless, there was a bullet that killed somebody on the set of that alec baldwin film. john schneider, the actor h this to say about it on a youtube program called seriously alec. >> are we to believe that a gun went off by itself? are we to believe that somehow magically on the first part of your teary eyed nonsensical journalism that we believe that alec didn't pull the trigger and then, what, three paragraphs later it's described how he did, in fact, pull the trigger? obviously this woman is still deceased. her family is still without a mother, without a wife. this is absurd. three weeks ago it was a prop gun. four weeks ago, nobody knew how in the world this real weapon was loaded on the set. and today he didn't pull the trigger. guns do not go off by themselves. brian: one thing is pretty clear. the whole production was a mess. these people were quitting. steve: over safety issues. brian: over safety issues. the crew was already complaining that they were staying hours away from the actual set and driving in the middle of nowhere. i heard stories that they were doing a lot of these guys were doing shooting practice when they had some breaks because they were out in an open field. these are some of the things that are all going to come out over the next few months. i do think one thing was a huge mistake, if you are telling a story and you want it to be real, don't put music underneath it if you want to go into a reenactment. ainsley: interview with george. steve: that's on abc. brian: i'm just saying, is this a movie? are you trying to get ratings or trying to find out the story of why a woman died? you don't put music underneath it don't tell me how to feel by this pending doom of what's happening. that should not be in a news story. ainsley: that's a good point. steve: all right. we're going to be talking to dean cain, he is an actor, of course. he's going to be talking about that topic and more things coming up in about two hours right here on fox. ainsley: let's talk about crime. we are seeing it increasing all across our country, especially in california. it seems like every week we are talking about these smash and grabs in california. there have been so many of them. they are ransacking these luxury stores and getting away with it because, if you do it, there's no bail. steve: right. ainsley: you get away with it. this is the latest one. brian: take up to $1,879. it actually pace. organized crime now involved with this. they hire these guys to go in there, steal the stuff, and they take a percentage of it and they sell it a lot of times with the same tags on some market. ainsley: it's smash and grab. steve: absolutely. we have been showing you things to your point, ainsley out in california. 14 people were arrested in 11 smash and grab incidents in california. all 14 of those people already have been released because of no bail thing out in california. where we are sitting right here. fox news world headquarters. i know you have seen our christmas tree at 48th and sixth avenue. five blocks from here is the bank of america tower. the bank of america is advising staffers dress down so you don't attract attention. and whatever you do don't have a logo, because if somebody sees oh, they work for a bank, let's clobber them. that's a big problem. there is just a general sense of lawlessness across the country. that is what prompted our white house correspondent to ask the white house press secretary this. >> big cities are dealing with smash and grab robberies, a record number of police officers have been shot and killed this year, why what is president biden going to do about all this lawlessness? >> the president proposed additional funding in his budget over the funding that had been proposed by the prior president, to increase and support local police departments. >> does the president still think crime is up because of the pandemic? >> i think many people have conveyed that and also one of the reasons that -- one of the root reasons crime -- root causes of crime in communities is guns and gun violence. and we have seen that statistically around the country. >> so when a huge group of criminals, organizes themselves and they want to go loot a store, a cvs, a nordstrom, a home depot, you think that's because of the pandemic? >> i think a root cause in a lot of communities is the pandemic, yes. ainsley: not defunding the police, not zero bail. brian: ben do you goen the coalition of law enforcement on retail criminal networks are offering young people up to 1,000 to do so steal specific merchandise from stores. quote: we're not talking about someone who needs money or needs food. these are people that go out and they do this for high profit and for the thrill and it all dates back to 2014 when the state enacted proposition 47 a voter approved ballot measure that said if you steal up to under $1,000, you get out, no problem. maybe press charges, maybe you don't, but you don't go to jail. steve: well, a lot of these smash and grabs are done by younger people. look at the cover of "the new york post." school of glock. what they're talking about is two days ago a kid had to go into brooklyn high school to explain why he was late. someone saw what think thought was a gun in his backpack. he had a 9-millimeter and $20,000 in cash. the next day they decided, do you know what? let's not announce it. let's put up a metal detector. do you know what they found yesterday when they looked through the metal detector? they found 9-millimeter. five cans of pepper spray four stun guns and brass knuckles in a backpack of high school kids. ainsley: 20,000ed? this high school kid had $20,000, too? steve: the lunch must be expensive. ainsley: $200. steve: i had like 5 bucks. ainsley: i worked. i had a job monday through friday. i got a $200 paycheck on friday. but not $20,000. steve: i know. there is something going on. ainsley: 21 different weapons seized in that high school. steve: it goes to show you about the sense of lawlessness and nobody -- there are no consequences for crime in a lot of instances. smash and grab, all that stuff, people getting clobbered left and right. brian: it goes to show you this is correctable. you do these things. the american public is getting educated on this and one by one these cities have to start reining in no cash bail situations and that's going to get you elected into office. hopefully there is going to be a common sense election in 2022. steve: florida is vowing not to become the next california. they are going to start a new database to attract repeat theft and organized crime. the offenders will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law according to the attorney general of the great state of florida. brian: new york city by the way a mugger caught on camera yesterday throwing a bring at a man's head and picking his pocket. happened at 156th street. knocked a guy out 53 years old. walking around knocked out in the lobby of his building. fantastic. ainsley: coming up behind you. the crime in new york we are all taking precautions. steve: that's why we leave as soon as we can. ainsley: let's hand it over to carley who has headlines for us. carley: in california the deputy sheriff was saying a lot of the smash and grab looting robberies they are finding they're orchestrated on social media. the whole gold get as many people as possible to overwhelm police which is why you are seeing so many large groups of people. steve: it's working. ainsley: what do do they do the with merchandise sell it online. carley: orchestrated thing. they are selling it somehow. yeah, news doesn't get any easier from here. milwaukee's district attorneys link human and computer error for the waukesha tragedy suspect being released on low bail. darrell brooks was free just hours before he allegedly killed six people driving his car into a christmas parade. the da says the rookie prosecutor didn't have access to his pre-trial risk assessment, so brooks was able to walk after posting $1,000 bond. this as hundreds of people hold a vigil to honor 8-year-old jackson sparks who was killed in the tragedy. a wildfire ripped through central montana destroying at least 24 homes. fire officials say the flames tore through the small farming community of denton in a matter of hours. the fire also engulfing four grain elevators that were over a century old. nearly 300 residents were evacuated. no injuries have been reported. parents gathering outside the fairfax county school board meeting in virginia to protest, quote: porn in schools. the outraged parents say two books now reintroduced in the school system are wildly inappropriate. those titles lawn boy and gender queer portray young people. gender queer illustrations of sex acts between a boy and a grown man. and on to this, the dallas cowboys defense lift dallas to a big win over the new orleans saints on thursday night football. >> flag on the play. another interception. and this is walk constituency to the i understand zone. >> dallas picking off dallas hill four times including pick 6 in the 27-17 victory. doing without head coach mccarthy who is in covid protocol. brian: they had a bunch of players in fairness to hill, it looks like he broke or sprained his finger and played through it. carley: i agree entirely. it sports is you entirely, brian. big ten championship game?

how are you nervous. brian: that's how we are different. meanwhile, take some notes. that's the message from nba star enes kanter freedom that's his new last name to american sports leagues, congressman mike gallagher calling for the olympics to be moved out of china. yes. he joins us live. first psoriasis, then psoriatic arthritis. it was really holding me back. standing up... ...even walking was tough. my joints hurt. i was afraid things were going to get worse. i was always hiding, and that's just not me. not being there for my family, that hurt. woooo! i had to do something. i started cosentyx®. i'm feeling good. watch me. cosentyx helps people with psoriatic arthritis move, look, and feel better. it targets more than just joint pain and treats the multiple symptoms like joint swelling and tenderness, back pain, helps clear skin and helps stop further joint damage. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections—some serious —and the lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms or if you've had a vaccine or plan to. tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. it's good to be moving on. watch me. move, look, and feel better. ask your rheumatologist about cosentyx. you get more with aarp medicare advantage plans from unitedhealthcare. like $0 copays on tier 1 and tier 2 prescription drugs. ♪ wow! ♪ ♪ uh-huh. ♪ $0 copays on primary care visits. ♪ wow! ♪ ♪ uh-huh. ♪ and with unitedhealthcare, you get access to medicare advantage's largest provider network. ♪ wow! ♪ ♪ uh-huh. ♪ most plans even have a $0 premium. so go ahead. take advantage now. ♪ wow! ♪ brian international olympic committee saying they're in contact with peng shuai and still concerned for her safety. will accused an official of sexual assault. banning tournaments in china over her case. i love that and so does enes kanter freedom he is urging other leagues to do the same thing. here to weigh in is congressman mike gallagher is this called momentum or is this just a moment. >> i do think the courage on display by the women's tennis association should inspire a lot of other athletes to speak out or at a minimum it stands in stark contrast to the cowardice on display by other organizations such as the nba, which is stunning because the wta has far more at stake in china financially as it percentage of their total revenue than the nba does. or contrast it with the cowardice shown by wall street where people like larry fink and larry are lecturing us about environmental investments while tripling down on chinese market. or look at the cowardice on display by the i national olympic committee parroting propaganda and it complicit in the censorship of peng shuai and her allegations of sexual misconduct. shame on cowards. time for corporate america to choose what side is are you on. do you really want to abet a genocidal communist regime the worst heim rights offender in the world? brian: are you saying a boycott or move venue? moving venue is impossible. >> very difficult. i called for moving venues two years ago whether it was more feasible. that would be the ideal outcome. we don't want the chinese communist party to pocket a massive propaganda victory. authoritarian regimes have a long history of doing this doing it to white rush abuses. sober shah 2014. beijing 2008. berlin 1936. that's what we are talking about. we should proceed with a boycott. a diplomatic boycott is not enough in my opinion and it seems the biden administration is waffling on that right now. the biden administration is also lobbying members of the house and the senate against passing the uyghur force labor prevention act. brian: unbelievable. >> crack down on slave labor come out of china under jinping. they want everyone to be able to buy solar panels from china. this is cowardice right now. the cbp is pocketing this. brian: bring up they poisoned the world and killed 750,000 americans with a china verizon they still haven't told us how and where it started and this president doesn't even bring that up during a virtual summit last week. congressman, i appreciate you speaking out. you have been very consistent. the ioc says this: we share the same concern but they say it's a difficult situation. they went on to say she explained they talked to peng shuai and explained her situation appeared to be safe and well given the difficult situation she is in. but they didn't provide any of the video that they said they had. so, congressman, thanks so much for joining us, keep your foot on the gas. >> thank you. brian: all right, still ahead on this show from coffee to criminals trees and even chicken nuggets, inflation is affecting nearly half of all-american households. will the white house finally stop down playing inflation and saying it's good for the middle class. really?

[laughter] brian: what's happened? privacy they are trying to pass that. steve: it's a hipaa thing. brian: to me that's my smalltalk. is that bad small to come? steve: it's complicated about people's personal health and stuff like that. let's talk about your money instead. 8:00 -- 8:30 this morning the numbers are going to come out. ainsley: what's your religion? who did you vote for? steve: they ever estimating that 550,000 jobs were created in the last month. unemployment will go down to 4.5%. the problem is, this is hang at the same time that people are so greatly being impacted by the very high cost of stuff, including food and fuel. inflation. brian: the stuff we don't really need. those excesses. the survey found that the impact of inflation 45% of americans report financial hardship triggered by increase prices. 10% describe the hardship as threatening current standard of living. everybody is affected. if i'm a politician or political pundit or political operative i live off those numbers. whatever i do i do not soft peddle or minimize the affect on the average person. jen psaki said what did it go up a nickel or what's the big deal? steve: she said the average turkey had gone up a dollar. ainsley: did you hear the latest if you are a parent out there you buy these all the time chicken fingers. brian: chicken nuggets. steve: chicken tenders you cannot find them. a lot of restaurant chains are no longer including chicken tenders in their promotion because they don't want to sell out. ainsley: what every kid orders when they go to a restaurant. steve: absolutely it's all about the supply chain stuff. it's not just chicken tenders, it's fresh produce, maple syrup i told you i couldn't buy egg roll wrappers. brian: tap your tree you could make a killing. steve: you have to have a maple tree. brian: pine tree bad sap. steve: it's tough to get a lot of stuff despite what the white house says it's just the news media showing the empty shelves there is a lot of empty shelves. ainsley: if you go to the store don't expect your whole list is going to be complete. brian: going to be a little bit more expensive. brian brenberg was here talking about ignoring inflation. listen, we haven't really hundredflation in this country in about 25 years, it's a problem you ignore it listen. >> these are folks who are living on tight budgets, economic times are tough. what little money they can save is being eroded away in terms of its value. this is a problem. the president can talk all he wants about people are saving money. the truth on the ground is people feel like they are having hard time getting the things they need. he has focused so much on trying to say i'm not going to raise your tax fuss make less than 400,000. start thinking about the people making 40,000. start thinking about what's going on in their lives and the prices they are paying, their situation. policymakers in d.c. especially those on the left are actually ignoring the reality of that group. carley: yeah. >> as they focus on their own ideology. steve: and one more fact regarding those people that brian brenberg was just talking about. people who make less than $40,000 a year. 71% of them are experiencing a hardship and about 30% of them say it's severe and making it hard for them to continue at their current standard of living. and then when you look at businesses, there is a raleigh, north carolina hardware store told news media, take a look at that just jaw dropping. the hardware store said his suppliers are raising the prices that they sell stuff to him the hardware store, they're raising their prices once or twice a week. unbelievable. ainsley: individual i thought that number would be higher, actually. so you can see what the individual number. i always feel sorry for the small businesses. you interviewed the guy who has the brewery. and all the prices are going up. so they have to pass that onto the customers. whether we go into a restaurant you look to see how much something is going to cost. and when prices are going up. maybe people are going to stay home and cook their own food. that's how i feel sorry for these small businesses. steve: christmas trees are up 30% this year. brian: get there early, too. because a lot of people don't have them. meanwhile, the november jobs report we said it's going to be better but the payroll gains are accelerating slightly not as fast as the wages are going up. but not as fast as inflation is going up. it's a lose situation. the democratic committee is getting blasted for praising joe biden for lowering gas prices two cents. peoplery sag this is not the time to take a bow. the president go d. joke about something we think is kind of ridiculous and that is how much he meet with anthony fauci, one of the most maddening things is the medical professionals, the so-called scientists are leading every area of our lives not looking at the aspect of the economy and psychology, especially with your second grader sitting in school with a mask and the president just reaffirmed that with this bad joke. >> i have seen more. [laughter] of dr. fauci than i have my wife. we kid each other. [laughter] but, look, who is president? fauci. but, all kidding aside, i sincerely mean it. today i'm back to announce our action plan to battle covid-19 this winter. steve: that's right. and he talked about tighter travel restrictions and more boosters and testing and if you get a home test then your health insurance is going to have to pay for it. what's interesting about what he said about dr. fauci. remember, it was a couple months ago our white house correspondent asked jen psaki whether given all the things dr. fauci has said in the past and how he has become a polarizing figure if the president would ever consider firing him? and she said under no circumstances would dr. fauci ever be fired by this president. ainsley: no. he's the president. fauci is the president now. he also said he strongly supports a review of giving shots to children under 5. that's alarming for a lot of moms and dads outs there this is what sarah huckabee sanders said about him joking that fauci is really the president. >> joe biden may think it's funny to joke about fauci being president and abdicating his power to him to unelected lifelong bureaucrat, but there is nothing funny at all about the only person that might be able to screw things up more than joe biden is probably dr. fauci. and it is absolutely ridiculous, the mandates, the rules, the shutdowns, it's all about power and control. concentrated in the hands of a few elites who frankly think they know more than the rest of us. brian: that's what we have been witnessing. every time something goes up, anthony fauci is on every channel except fox although he did appear with neil cavuto yesterday and sometimes hop on sunday shows. never get a follow-up question. and everyone worships at his feet and think what he says is gospel until you talk to other medical professionals. he does not have the respect in scientific community. origin of the virus, that's where every conversation should start. we were loued to how it got here. there is no curiosity except for your twitter and your social media accounts will be suspended if you speculated it came from a lab. now it's basically conventional wisdom and for some reason he doesn't even want to entertain where this started. and go over what went wrong. unless comes to blaming. also, what was buried in that interview with margaret brennan on sunday. is he taking credit for coming up with the vaccine. i got together with all the leading scientists and said we have got to come up with vaccine. no publicly you were saying vaccine is two years away. until recently you weren't even talking about the vaccine until it came to market. steve: obviously, he did such a good job coming up with it they were able to do it faster. there was one interesting bit of research that was released yesterday regarding covid. and this is something. a lot of people suffer from allergies, hay fevers, stuff like that. people with allergic conditions like hay fever, rhinitis or eczema 23% lower risk of covid infection. people with asthma had about a 40% lower risk if they're using steroid inhalers. they don't know exactly why that is, but apparently there is a little protection if you have got these allergic conditions or asthma. brian: just about everyone with asthma the blowers have the steroids in them. steve: blowers, insnarls. brian: that's what i call them blowers. putting them like casually did you see my blower? ainsley: the hand that rocks the cradle, remember that? remember that movie? brian: no. ainsley: the mean lady took the inhaler. brian: oh, i saw that. steve: she took the blowers. ainsley: alec baldwin sat down with george stephanopoulos. first interview since the shooting on the movie rust and he said he never pulled the trigger. >> in this scene congress the gun do you want to see that she says yes. i take the gun and start to congress the gun. i see do you see it just cheat it down tilt it down congress the gun can you see that? can you see that? can you see that? and she says i let go of the hammer of the gun and the gun goes off. >> that's the moment. >> that's the moment the gun went off. >> it wasn't in the script for the trigger to be pulled. >> well, the trigger wasn't pulled i didn't pull the tryinger. >> you never pulled the trigger. >> no, no, no, no. i would never pull a gun and that's the training i had you don't point the gun and pull the trigger. >> colt 45 you pulled. >> the hammer back as far as i could without congressing. >> and holding onto the hammer. >> showing how about that? does that work? do you see that? yeah, that's good. i let go of the hammer and bang the gun goes off. steve: ultimately he says don't blame him for killing the cinematographer because there never should have been a live round on the property let alone in the gun. the santa fe sheriff adam mendosa says guns don't just go off. whatever needs to happen to manipulate the firearm, baldwin did that and it was in his hands. i mentioned clay travis said something last night on the tragic, he was on with sean hannity, and he said regarding alec baldwin he is one of the great actors of our generation, so if can he cry on command when things actually aren't real, i'm sure he can also master this for a jury, for a judge, to a prosecutor. for anybody out there that he would be talking to and be imminently believable whether or not it's true. brian: it's a shot. he is a great actor. but that to me looks like he is being tortured. i think that was -- his grief is real. i think the crying was absolutely real. you see physically he doesn't look like the same person. i mean, physically he looks -- on a side note, his dad was the rifle team coach in high school. you would only think, you don't foe for sure, that he would have competency with guns. so he probably does know what he is doing and does know what he is talking about. steve: associate director told him it was a cold gun which means it should not have had anything in it and it had been checked out. ultimately, he was holding the gun that killed the woman and now they are just trying to figure it all out. ainsley: ultimately look at the facts of the case and can't speculate on what his intentions were. i don't think he had any bad intentions just an accident on set. they need to find out how it happened so it doesn't happen again. whoever put a live bullet in there. steve: right. ainsley: that person needs to be reprimanded or punished in some way if they knew about it. steve: well, we had the sheriff on a week or two after -- within a week after it happened. and i referred to it as an accident and he said we don't know that it was an accident. so, you know, at that stage of the game, they didn't know whether it was an accident. nonetheless, it was a one hour with george stephanopoulos. leo terrell, fox news contributor had this observation about why he went on tv last night. he said this to sean hannity. >> no one should believe that he gave that interview without being consulted by his lawyers. no one should believe that that wasn't rehearsed. i want to see the raw footage. this interview was being done strictly to basically influence a jury pool and to get his version out there. now, he is committed to this version. so you can expect this over and over again. this is a strategy by his lawyer. let's not be fooled by this. brian: yeah, i mean, there is definitely a legal strategy. remember, he didn't want to talk in vermont when he was pulled over on the side of the road. i really can't comment on the case. now there is no doubt about it, there is legal things he was doing. there is no question. i wouldn't say necessarily a strategy. i think that he has got to talk at some point showed george stephanopoulos. i know we are going to be on this set talking about people who have a different view of what happened that day. ainsley: a woman is dead. brian: already two lawsuits out there. ainsley: she was a mother. he feels like this woman died and now her kids are left and he has all these little kids at home so he can relate to that and then he also is saying he doesn't care if he works again? i mean, to say that he is grieving, he. steve: he says the reason is he speaking out now because there are a lot of misconceptions about what happened. so he wanted to set the record straight. ainsley: he said this on instagram. -- steve: whether or not he had set the record straight because there are some questions yet. ainsley: he posted this on instagram. no matter what happens to me if i win or lose anything, anything, no one can take away from me the joy and the love that you have given me and then he put his wife's handle on there. so, i follow her on instagram. it seems like they have a very close relationship. she posts a lot of pictures of them. they have a lot of kids. brian: under 8. carley shimkus, six minutes -- 16 minutesafter the hour. carley: more news on the omicron variant detected in five stwats at least 10 total cases reported. this as president biden lays out winter plan to combat the pandemic. mandatory testing for travelers coming into the u.s. within 24 hours of their flight. regardless of vaccine status. that rule goes into effect on monday. the oxford high school superintendent says the teen charged with a shooting that left four students dead was not disciplined prior to the attack. ethan crumbly's parents were called into the michigan school to address his behavior the day of the shooting. parents with kids who were at the school that day are now weighing in. >> at that moment, being caught in the previous day and that morning, i would have to have a serious talk with my kids as parents, it is our responsibility to know our kids. >> local prosecutor says she is considering charging crumbly's parents as well. look at this. incredible video capturing the moment a driver is trapped in their car as it's dragged down the highway by a semitrailer. illinois state police say the driver was change lanes when the car somehow got stuck under the side of the semi. at one point the driver can be seen frantically waving from the car. amazingly, police say the driver was not hurt. it's unclear if the semi driver will face charges. a lot of questions over that video. yeah, my goodness. well, say goodbye to toy cars and hello to tesla cyber quad for kids. the electric vehicle company unveiling a four wheel atv met for children 8 years old and up. the epic ride is selling for $1,900 apiece. with a top speed of 15 miles per hour. and a 15-mile range. that is a toy for rich kids. steve: do you know whether or not there is a weight restriction?

>> first of all, we are not sure what putin is actually going to do. i don't think he has made up his mind. i think u.s. resolve and the west reaction to him, if he did move troops in, is one of his major calculations and certainly his assessment of president biden. does he see strength there or does he see weakness there. he certainly saw weakness in president obama and that may very well be the case here. i believe we have already missed an opportunity. the ukraine's lethal aid package. we had put one together. we were going to provide it to them and it concerned antimissile -- missile defense systems, excuse me, drones, also they need anti-tank weapons and a number of other things. we should have given them that package, brian, that sends a clear unequivocal message to putin, he threatens the president of the united states well, if you take an action like that. you are going to force me to have to escalate. that was the message egg delivered to obama, and obama stood down and did not provided lethal aid. that is a mistake here. if they move in, there is plenty of actions we should take. put more troops in the poland. it sends a clear unequivocal message that we're not going to stand for this. also, sanctions, certainly we should provide the lethal aid package that we have been holding back that i just mentioned. we can finally come up with some crippling sanctions on russia that we have been avoiding. one is the north strom 2 pipeline. it's still out, there being constructed. we can shut that down we can go after putin money and his cronies and oligarchs that are really close to him. russian energy sources. i'm talking about oil and gas, which is their major source of income and then russian banks. that would be very hard hitting. and that is the message we should be telling lava row privately this is what is going to happen if putin moves across that border. brian: our allies and nato seems to be just as alarmed to it as we. do not overreacting. trying to get ahead of it something else pleased biden is doing angering china. invited taiwan. they also had congressional delegations there. we have a marine presence there. a light one. what are we picking that up concerns us and are you pleaseds with the way we are an gering china by supporting taiwan? >> yeah, i think this administration from the outset has done really good work dealing with taiwan. they invited the taiwan representative here in washington, d.c. for the inauguration. that was a first. and they have continued to support taiwan. they ventricle cowrged delegations. we just had two bipartisan congressional delegations there the european have fallen in on taiwan. the baltic leaders were in the country. we have sent senior officials into taiwan and as you mentioned, president trump put in some special forces and some marines and when the biden administration took over, they kept them there. yes. and we're providing significant military aid in terms of lethal weapons capability to taiwan. these actions with the biden administration with taiwan, i think, have been very good. i'm not as satisfied certainly with the overall actions dealing with china. brian: 20 seconds, the majority of americans see china as a major threat over russia. are they right? >> yeah. once again, the american people get it right. it is -- it is our number one threat. it is a pacing item for us. and i'm also disappointed in the recent posture statement by the department of defense that we're not increasing our forces in the region when we are outmanned and outgunned by china. that is very disappointing. brian: pass the defense authorization act and increase defense spending not decrease it we are increasing everything else. general jack keane, thank you for the break down. have great weekend. >> yeah, you too, brian. brian: coming up tonight 8:00 eastern time i will be on stage with jacksonville, florida with the president's freedom fighter tour a life stream on fox nation. interact with the audience two and a half hours have a chance to put a game plan together to win a war on american history happening in way too many cities and schools. meanwhile that will be tonight. tomorrow in clearwater, florida and then mcclean, virginia. i will be at the tyson's corner barnes & noble that beautiful place. if you want to get the book and personalize go to brian kilmeade.com. go my barnes & noble show up at once. american printed don't have to worry about being stuck on a ship. coming up straight ahead california's crime wave continues with another wild smash and grab robbery caught on camera looting suspects being released on the zero bail law. the white house isn't quite ready to blame the democratic policies. >> when a huge group of criminals organizes themselves and they want to go loot a store. >> i think a root cause in a lot of communities is the pandemic, yes. ♪ ("this little light of mine") - [narrator] in the world's poorest places, they're shunned, outcast, living in pain. you can reach out and change the life of a suffering child right now. a surgery that takes as little as 45 minutes and your act of love can change a child's life forever. please call or visit operationsmile.org now. thousands of children are waiting. if you have this... consider adding this. an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan from unitedhealthcare. medicare supplement plans help by paying some of what medicare doesn't... and let you see any doctor. any specialist. anywhere in the u.s. who accepts medicare patients. so if you have this... consider adding this. call unitedhealthcare today for your free decision guide. ♪ serena: it's my 3:10 no-exit-in-sight migraine medicine. it's ubrelvy. for anytime, anywhere migraine strikes, without worrying if it's too late, or where i am. one dose can quickly stop my migraine in its tracks within two hours. unlike older medicines, ubrelvy is a pill that directly blocks cgrp protein, believed to be a cause of migraine. do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. most common side effects were nausea and tiredness. serena: ask about ubrelvy. the anytime, anywhere migraine medicine. let's go walter! after you. walter, twelve o' clock. get em boy!

steve: absolutely if you're getting checked or , you know, or you've got a relationship with medicare or medicaid, they've got your contact information, they probably won't call you but they will send you a postcard. brian: the good news is he's lost three mandate fights in the courts and hopefully that continues, people need to make a choice, i don't know if he knows what we've done in the past, we've taken vaccinations in the past but we should be having a choice when it comes to this and the courts obviously agree so we'll see where that goes but he is holding off on demanding vaccinations on airfare, on flights. ainsley: yeah, and anyone who is on a flight to the united states from another country, if you travel it's americans too, when you come back into our country, you have to have a negative covid test within 24 hours of departure and also he announced they strongly support a review of giving shots to children under five. steve: the problem is, and we saw this with the last administration and this administration as well, its become a political hot potato. the president yesterday said do you know what? this disease should not be political. watch. >> my plan i'm announcing today pulls no punches in the fight against covid-19 and it's a plan that i think should unite us. i know covid-19 has been very divisive in this country, its become a political issue which is a sad, sad commentary. it shouldn't be, but it has been now, as we move into the winter and face the challenges of this new variant, this is among what went can put the divisives behind us. steve: good luck with that. brian: 86% of the seniors got the shot, 77% have gotten both shots, we're on the precipice, if you take natural immunity, but for some reason we political ly that's what makes people distrustful, we don't count it and we don't have antibody tests in great numbers, so if you look that we basically are at herd immunity. we had two weeks to slow the spread, now we, according to dr. fauci last week, we need 85% of the country to get a shot while not counting natural immunity. steve: well the problem is this new variant. a lot of unknowns has got 50 mutations, it doesn't seem as harsh, but they still don't know, and you know, the big companies, pfizer and j & j and moderna they're trying to figure out what protection exactly their vaccines give. ainsley: because many of the people who have gotten it, they were vaccinated. there was a minnesota man fully vaxxed, the second person to get it in the united states. brian: mild symptoms. ainsley: he was in new york city around 50,000 people at an event from november 19-21 and he had not traveled outside of the united states, which means he got it from someone here in the u.s.. brian: you got to assess the risk in your life. you know what the situation is. you get vaccinated, you don't get vaccinated, assess the risk and live your life. that's the way its got to be. its been a year, plus. how long are they going to drag this out for , the american people are educated on it. we certainly don't need politicians giving us medical advice. steve: but you know what? the politicians of this administration have had almost a year to put politics aside, lee carter sat down with ainsley a little while ago and said you know what? joe hasn't done that yet. watch. >> he's been president for 11 months. he's had 11 months to put politics aside when it comes to covid. people are tired of it. they don't know where to go for information . people wanted to hear they are going to be okay and i don't think he delivered on that. when he took office in january he had a 69% approval rating, today it's 47.8 that's 20% drop. people gave him the benefit of the doubt and they wanted him to do better and they haven't felt that way so the fact he's saying we're so much better off, yes we have the vaccine, yes we know more about covid than we did before, but they aren't giving him credit for it. brian: and yeah, right now, it's just under 50% giving him credit that was his number one go-to. people were tired of being yell ed at and basically blamed. jen psaki yesterday blamed the american people for the fact that we are not further along in beating this pandemic. steve: we thought we be through it by now. ainsley: she said these smash-and-grabs and most of the people running into the department stores stealing more than $100,000 worth of merchandise in chicago, most of these people are young people. do you think they're doing it because of covid? jen psaki thinks so, listen to this exchange with peter doocy. reporter: big cities are dealing with smash-and-grab robberies, a record number of police officer have been shot and killed this year. what is president biden going to do about all of this lawlessness >> the president proposed additional funding in his budget , over the funding that had been proposed by the prior president, to increase and support local police departments reporter: does the president still think crime is up because of the pandemic? >> i think many people have conveyed that and also one of the reasons that, one of the root reasons, root causes of crime in communities is guns and gun violence, and we've seen that statistically around the country. reporter: so when a huge group of criminals organizes themselves and they want to go loot a store, a cvs, nordstrom, home depot, you think that's because of the pandemic? >> i think a root cause and a lot of communities is the pandemic, yes. steve: one of the things about this administration is whenever they are in a jam, and they got to blame somebody, forget about the buck stops here, they blame donald trump or the pandemic. when it comes to the root causes of the lawlessness across the country, you've got to blame the disastrous blue state policies where they have removed the consequences from committing crime. we had lapd detective with us talking about all that smash-and-grabs out in california where now they are decorating their windows for christmas with plywood, so somebody won't loot them. here is jamie mcbride. listen to this. >> most people, holidays start in december. here in california and especially los angeles, it's every day. it's christmas every day here for the criminals. why wait until the holidays. you can go out and get whatever you want any time you want and there's no ramifications. it's not safe here. i mean, the crimes not just happening in poor areas. it's going to beverly hills early hills, the best side. we're doing our job, actually arresting these people, however it's revolving door. they are immediately released and back on the street creating havoc and crime everywhere. brian: so they have 11 incidents they arrested 14 people. everybody was out because california is zero bail rule. those people arrested they took an estimated $338,000, in los angeles in 2,020, it went up to 7,386, both numbers are bad, which is flat out, this is a business, it turns out in california, they say organized crime syndicates have been paying gangs to ran sack luxury stores and steal thousands of dollars worth of goods and pay them a flat rate and then these goods pop-up on tag sales or swap meets with the actual tags on them for discount rates so it's 100% profit everywhere. this is a business destroying businesses. steve: well then the department of justice should go after all of those people involved in that business, it's obviously racketeering if there's somebody pulling the strings and sending people out to do it. do it that way rather than the shoplifting mandate, which, as we know, people can be charged but they are immediately released and they never face any consequences. ainsley: if you are a police officer, or like a guard in some of these department stores you're told don't touch them, it's not worth it, just let them get away. brian: if you're a member of a crime family go out and turn in everybody. if you're a member. steve: that has happened. listen, jen psaki was talking about guns. look at the cover of the new york post today, school of glock what happened was a kid showed up a couple days ago at a brooklyn high school with $30,000 in his backpack, and a .9-millimeter so they decided to have a surprise inspection they put a magnetometer in the school and they found nine knives, seven cans of pepper spray, four stun guns, what high school kid has a stun gun? ainsley: or $30,000? steve: and a set of brass knuckles, and that was just at one school unannounced. a lot of schools already have metal detectors so they know don't bring your stun gun to school but there, one day, unannounced that kind of a load. brian: so in other words you just wonder, do these kids come back and say could i have my stun gun back? do they ask for it, confiscate it? steve: does the school let them back? if you take a .9-millimeter to school, the department of education say, you know what? come back tuesday. i don't know. ainsley: i would imagine not. steve: do not know. scary. ainsley: this day and age you never know. brian: public school in new york city that's what life is like and they fired a whole bunch of teachers that don't want to get vaccinated. steve: and paying the highest taxes in the world for those schools. brian: and more monday flows into those schools just doesn't produce great results, but carley shimkus has great results reporter: [laughter] thank you. fired a bunch of teachers because of the vaccine also police officers, which is why things like this are happening listen to this story. new overnight, a knife-wielding man goes on a crime spree killing a student and injuring a tourist in random new york city stabbings. the columbia university student was fatally stabbed near the school. the tourist was found nearby, and is expected to survive. police say a third person was threatened before police arrested the suspect in central park. the suspect was on parole from a 2018 assault charges in this situation are pending. >> a heart-stopping collision is caught on camera. video shows an idaho state trooper and a stranded driver coming just in .s away from being hit by a truck. police say the trooper was helping the driver with a flat tire when the truck was hit from the side in a four-car collision causing it to crash into the median. now, luckily, the trooper and the driver were not seriously hurt. really scary situation there. >> a new study shows people with certain allergies could be less likely to be infected by covid. the uk medical journal says their research shows people with allergy-triggered issues have a 23% lower risk of catching covid. those with as majority in the study had a 38% lower infection rate. >> two more of kamala harris' aids are reportedly calling it quits as the mass exodus from the vp's office continues. the washington post reports harris' director of press operations peter bell and public engagement deputy director vince evans are both moving on. this after harris' press secretary simone sanders announced her departure this week effective at the end of the year. the trend is continuing, guys those are your headlines. steve: it is indeed. brian: evidently, axios is reporting people don't want to be labeled as a harris person, that's how bad her reputation is steve: thank you, carlie. all right, coming up on fox & friends, for this friday, a new poll reveals most americans think the country is heading in the wrong direction. geraldo rivera is going to go in our direction coming up next. brian: right from ohio. ainsley: no he's here. brian: oh, okay it's a fox & friends tradition, the santa repel adam klotz is gearing up in the gusty winds to scale a 22 story building because he wants to for a great cause. steve: there he goes oh, my goodness. brian: good thing we have a weather channel. hey, angie! you forgot your phone! hey lou! angie forget her phone again? yep. lou! mom said she could save up to $400 on her wireless bill by switching to xfinity internet and mobile. with nationwide 5g at no extra cost. and lou! on the most reliable network, lou! smart kid, bill. oh oh so true. and now, the moon christmas special. gotta go! take the savings challenge at xfinitymobile.com/mysavings or visit an xfinity store to learn how our switch squad makes switching fast and easy this holiday season. ainsley: from inflation to a breakdown in the supply chain the nationwide worker shortage is no surprise. people are feeling unsure about the direction of our country, and there's a new poll out showing 60% of americans think the u.s. is moving in the wrong direction. here to react is fox news correspondent at-large, geraldo rivera. hey, geraldo. so they are saying the biggest concerns, country, economy, and healthcare. what is your biggest concern? geraldo: i think right now this week my biggest concern is copycat violence in schools. i have long dashcam pained for metal detectors in all schools, junior high and high school. i think they should be all across the country. it is, i think, a great deterrent. it would have alleviated that horror that we just saw in the last few days where four children were shot down by their classmates. i, of course, my biggest concern immediately is for copycats. of course the big issues that you cited, the economy and public health, really wear on me its been covid, covid, covid, for a couple years now and it's exhausting. people are angry and impair impatient about it and i want people to stick through this last variant, get their boosters and move away. ainsley: what about the state of our country because you have a young child, you've raised your other children, you're one day going to have grandkids. what about the state of thus country when we have open borders, the taliban has now taken over in afghanistan. these are scary issues. geraldo: well, i am, as a resident of cleveland, extremely concerned about violence in the city, and how, you know, when you see these snatch-and- grab cases, what you have there and you have to understand, you have a whole group of 30, 40, 50 young people who have absolutely rejected the rules of society. they've decided that anarchy is their guiding light, anarchy, violence, theft. it is such a breakdown in the social order. i was surprised it didn't rate higher frankly, ainsley, because it is, to me, such a symptom of a deep sickness. if that many children can get , they are basically children, teenagers, if that many teenager s can get together, all wear costumes, you know, the black hoodie, and the tape over their license plates of their cars, i mean, what you have is an organized criminal enterprise. you really should use a rico statute. these are gangs in the worst and most sophisticated sense, and i think that they could perpetrate that kind of violence everywhere until and unless someone like eric adams, the new mayor of new york, former cop, stands up to them and says that won't happen in my town anymore. if that happens we're going to come down on you with the full weight of the nypd. i just would like that kind of statement that the thin blue line exists, that people understand that the most important job of society is to keep citizens safe. i think that we need that language. we need president biden to snap out of it and stop blaming covid for everything. how do you blame covid for smash-and-grabs? it's kind of a liberal run amuck and it is unfortunate because it doesn't get the job done. ainsley: right, it makes me so mad because someone worked so hard to pay for whatever was in that department store or whatever was in that small business and then some group of people just come in and take it all. geraldo: and it's such an afront , because society works because there's rules. you know? you cover cover your neighbor's wife and his property, there are rules and there have always been rules but when people think they can flaunt the rules because of a wanton selfishness and the feeling because of statements made by public officials who are, you know, squishy, that nothings going to happen to them, there is now this emboldened class who feels that they can perpetrate this obscene violence. take whatever they want. ainsley: they deserve it without ever working for it. geraldo: without ever working for it. it really is, it undermines, i think, americal society in a way that is very very -- ainsley: okay you have cops coming up 6:00 p.m. a new episode. geraldo: cops are back and this is the one show in america, that extolls the virtue of cops. we love cops and we celebrate cops and when you slap a cap on the back, that's going to be a better cop going forward when he knows the people are in his corners when you know the cop on your street and when you can have personal relationship with them, then they are, and this is what cops does. it sees them in action, in all the raw, vivid, you know, passionate embraces of police work. you see what they do, you see how well they do do it and you feel better knowing that they're out there protecting, the thin blue line still exists. ainsley: invite them to dinner maybe after their shift. part of the community. geraldo: we chat them up, first name basis, and that's why it was when i was a kid. i knew every cop on the street, i knew every police car, you know, and they came by and it was a relationship that was a wonderful aspirational relationship. a lot of my friends became cops just because they wanted to grow to be a soldier. ainsley: well the show was canceled another network so we invited them to fox nation and it's your show now called "cops all access with geraldo." geraldo: big hit. it's such a great show. ainsley: this holiday season sign up for fox nation, use the promo coat "celebrate" only at foxnation.com. it's 8:26 on the east coast and still ahead, we are awaiting the november jobs report, former mcdonald's ceo ed renci will join us live to react as soon as those numbers come in plus alec baldwin opening up for the very first time since the deadly shooting. the shocking interview, still ahead. >> do you feel guilt? >> no, no. someone is responsible for what happened and i can't say who that is but i know it's not me. first psoriasis, then psoriatic arthritis. it was really holding me back. standing up... ...even walking was tough. my joints hurt. i was afraid things were going to get worse. i was always hiding, and that's just not me. not being there for my family, that hurt. woooo! i had to do something. i started cosentyx®. i'm feeling good. watch me. cosentyx helps people with psoriatic arthritis move, look, and feel better. it targets more than just joint pain and treats the multiple symptoms like joint swelling and tenderness, back pain, helps clear skin and helps stop further joint damage. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections—some serious —and the lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms or if you've had a vaccine or plan to. tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. it's good to be moving on. watch me. move, look, and feel better. ask your rheumatologist about cosentyx. reporter: we are back with your headlines white house records show jeffrey epstein visited the bill clinton white house at least 17 times during clinton's first term. the daily mail obtaining visitor logs showing epstein started visiting about a month after clinton's first took office. a handful of times epstein visit ed twice in the same day. a majority of visits were to the west wing suggesting he may have met with clinton. >> jesse smolette's legal team begins his defense as he stands accused of faking a hate crime against himself. two brothers who knew him are accused of attacking him yelling racist and anti-gay slurs. the defense says the brothers planned the attack and that all tweets show one of the brothers is homophobic, but the brothers insist the attack was staged and say they even did a dry run with him the day before. the trial will resume on monday. >> on to a fox news alert now the november jobs report just released, the u.s. adding 210,000 jobs last month, whoa that is less than economists expected and the unemployment rate falling to 4.2%. not good, steve, over to you. steve: it's not good let's bring in former mcdonald's ceo ed renc i joining us from florida the jobs number, they were thinking that the economy would add about 550,000 jobs, but instead, it only added 210,000. what does that say to you? >> well, i feel it everyday. i look at the restaurants i work with and i see how very very difficult it is to get people to come to work. it's just too easy to stay home and it says so much about biden 's leadership. you know, we were on a great trajectory with jobs coming out a year ago with the pandemic and things were starting to settle down. here in florida governor desantis has done a great job of balancing common sense with medical need and things are flourishing down here right now, but we've got an ineffective leadership in washington d.c. in the joe biden administration and i think he's clueless. he does not understand what's going on on main street america and it is not good right now, and this inflation is just making matters so much worse. the american public is just getting brutalized with inflation. i'd look at the prices i'm just stunned at what restaurant prices have come to. it's just really tragic when a case of chicken goes from $40 a case to $175 a case, if you can get it. the family budget can't handle this and the jobs report is just in decorative of how sick this economy really is. steve: right and you know, ed, speaking of chicken, the news story today, this is terrible news for every parent, chicken tenders, chicken fingers, it's hard for restaurants to get them it's hard for grocery stores to stock them because of the supply chain problems. there was a poll that came out yesterday from the u.s. chamber of commerce, that said that about half the people who lost their jobs in the pandemic, they're not looking. they got some government money, for whatever reason, they don't want to go back to work and a pretty good number of them say you know what? i don't think i'm ever going to go back to work and that, to your earlier point that's going to be really hard for people like your restaurants that you work with find people to help serve food. >> well it clearly is a tragic situation right now. the american citizen has lost its will to excell, to exceed, and to grow and prosper. the idea that there's a bright light on the hill that we can achieve is dimming drastically, and i talk to people all the time about this. these mobs that are busting into stores and stealing everything in site, it destroys your psyche and brings people down and they don't know what's becoming of our society, they fear for their children. this does not bode well and biden and that crowd better wake up to the fact that this country is in a lot of trouble because if you lose the faith in goodwill of the american people, this country is going to be in trouble. steve: well, ed let's go from work to woke. there's a new poll out from let's see , brunswick incites that shows the most voters want corporations to focus on business rather than going woke but here's the thing. so 63% of executives think companies should speak out on social issue, a majority, almost a super majority, in the senate that be , 63%. meanwhile voters you switch the numbers completely. only 36%, about a third of the country want companies to speak out on social issues. here's the thing. when a company takes a position on something political, haven't you alienated half the country? half of the potential people who could walk through your door might think, you know, that place is political. i'm not going to go there. >> well i'll tell you i've had the good fortune of working for a lot of great leaders and i remember ray crock and fred turn er the chairman of the board of mcdonald's telling me, ed your job is to run the business for the benefit of the employees , the shareholders and the customers. it is not your job to opine on a social condition in the united states, and i've always said that it's very important that business leaders hire great people, train and mentor them, learn how to satisfy customers and have intelligent profit. just because you're in the c- suite, and you're an executive of a company, does not give you a moral authority to speak out about every condition in the world, that's not your job. run the company, motivate your employees, and give customers great satisfaction. steve: you know a lot about this , once upon a time, the ceo of mcdonald's, ed, thank you very much for joining us have a great weekend. >> thanks for being truth seekers, we need you. steve: somebody has to do it. just saying, thanks, ed. all right, still ahead on this friday, alec baldwin making several shocking claims about the deadly shooting on the set of his movie "rust." >> this colt .45 you just pulled? >> as far back as i could go. >> you're holding on to it? >> how about that, does that work? do you see that? that's good. i let go of the hammer and the gun goes off. steve: but the sheriff investigating the accident, not buying that. actor and reserve officer dean cain joins us with reaction, live coming up next on "fox & friends." i've lost count of how many asthma attacks i've had. but my nunormal with nucala? fewer asthma attacks. nucala is a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. may cause headache, injection-site reactions, back pain, and fatigue. ask your doctor about nucala. find your nunormal with nucala. going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage, and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. with original medicare, you're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits. but you have to meet a deductible for each, and then you're still responsible for 20% of the cost. next, let's look at a medicare supplement plan. as you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and co-insurance. but, they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. now, let's take a look at humana's medicare advantage plans. with a humana medicare advantage plan, hospital stays, doctor office visits and your original medicare deductibles are covered. and of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. in fact, in 2020 humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $8,400 on average on their prescription costs. most humana medicare advantage plans include a silversneakers fitness program at no extra cost. dental, vision and hearing coverage is included with most humana medicare advantage plans and, you get telehealth coverage with a $0 copay. you get all this for as low as a $0 monthly plan premium in many areas. and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana's large network. if you want the facts, call right now for the free decision guide from humana. there is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network, to find out if you can save on your prescriptions, and to get our free decision guide. humana, a more human way to healthcare. >> i let go of the hammer of the gun and the gun goes off. >> it wasn't in the script for the trigger to be pulled. >> well the trigger wasn't pulled. i didn't pull the trigger. >> she goes down. i thought to myself, did she faint? >> the notion there was a live round in that gun did not dawn on me until probably 45 minutes to an hour later. >> do you feel guilt? >> no, no. someone is responsible for what happened and i can't say who that is but i know it's not me. steve: okay, alec baldwin making several stunning claims during his first tv interview since that deadly shooting left one woman dead on the set of his movie "rust." ainsley: the actor telling george stephanopoulos he didn't even pull the trigger and he didn't realize he shot the lady until 45 minutes after the incident. brian: joining us with reaction is actor and reserve police officer and producer, dean cain. dean, from what you saw of the interview, what do you think of his explanations and descriptions? >> well, good morning, brian, ainsley, steve. ainsley: good morning. >> i'm still trying to figure out why he did the interview. i think he's trying to get ahead of the narrative and go look maybe get the court of public opinion on his side but he violated, there was negligence here, all the way through. helens muchins lost her life all because of negligence. now his sponsor his reason why he did it in pulling back the hammer if he's using a single action weapon and he pulls back the hammer and lets it go that's the same as pulling the trigger. anybody who has any knowledge of guns understands that, in the screen actors guild, safety bulletins the very first thing they say is blanks can kill, treat all firearms as as though they are loaded and of course live ammunition is never to be used or brought on set. somebody brought that live ammunition on set and that's a problem but even if he is pointing a weapon, like he said at the director told him to point it here or there, anybody whose experienced even as alec baldwin is should have opened and checked the cylinder. there should have been a safety meeting beforehand. it's standard protocol so there is negligence without a doubt. the fact he doesn't feel guilt? whoa that's a tough one for me because if i'd been in the same position and i'd done that myself, you know, even though it's a complete accident and i believe it was an accident, i don't know how you don't feel some guilt. i don't understand that. ainsley: maybe he just doesn't want to admit it because what does that look like if he does? >> again, i think part of the reason he did this interview , which when there's a civil and or criminal proceeding ahead it's hard for me to understand why he would do that, why are you talking like this giving your side because as far as i'm concerned that's evidence in the case, you know, correct me if i'm wrong. steve: sure, dean, a new search warrant approved the judge in the case revealed that the live round may actually have been left in the gun from the previous film production, so it could be one of those things where nobody ever looked. in the meantime, the sheriff whose been on this program regarding what he said, alec baldwin said, he said guns don't just go off, so whatever needs to happen to manipulate the firearm, he did that and it was in his hands. you know, he says he's not responsible for it, but somebody has to figure out what happened because somebody is dead. >> yeah, i was shocked when he said i didn't pull the trigger and i get that but if you have a single action revolver and you pull the hammer back before it clicks and holds and let it go that's the same as firing the weapon and anybody who has any experience with firearms at all should know that, and i believe it. alec should have been aware. brian: dean, so you take a hold of production, you hire people, you're a producer. is it possible that, do you think to yourself, i'm responsible, should somebody go wrong, fall off a ladder, do anything, do you have that sense of responsibility, because he's a producer on this. >> yeah, there's, he said he was a creative producer and had no business. i think they are getting into legal semantics beforehand, and he's trying to cover himself in a sense but when i produce things and hire people, that i have some semblance of responsibility. i also know this wouldn't happen on a set i was on. it just couldn't there's no way someone could be handed a weapon and not have a safety meeting beforehand, have everyone together and i don't believe from what i've heard i didn't hear anybody talk about a safety meeting that took place before hand, and it says very clearly, on that same screen actors guild bulletin before any use of the firearm and rehearsal and/or on camera sequence, all persons must be thoroughly briefed on an on site safety meeting and i don't think that took place, i any it's negligence and i don't think alec did it on purpose, by any stretch of the imagination but the gun was in his hands and he did pullback the hammer and let it go. steve: something went wrong. dean, thank you very much. ainsley: thank you, dean have a great weekend. >> thanks. yes, you too, thanks. ainsley: let's check in with senior meteorologist janice dean for our fox weather forecast. >> hello, good morning the weekend is here, all-american christmas tree, you have to come by if you're in manhattan, 46th right near 6th avenue, and you can come see it and take some pictures and we'll have the big lighting by the way on sunday on fox news and fox nation. let's take a look at the weather you know, not too bad today, tomorrow, look at some of these temperatures, we broke all-time record heat in phoenix, oklahoma city, and atlanta, sacramento as well, we'll hang on to the warm temperatures especially across the southern and central plains things are going to change starting this weekend with the storm system moving into the northwest that moves into the midwest, and then eventually come towards the northeast on monday and tuesday, so that's going to be the big weather maker. if you want to track weather, you know you can do it. foxweather.com, you can log on right now and or you can go right up to your screen with your smartphone on that bar code and get foxweather.com. you can get all of your weather for upcoming events as well, it is the best weather in america, and have a great weekend, steve, ainsley, brian. ainsley: thank you, janice. still ahead adam is going to repel down a 22 story building in connecticut but first let's check in with dana perino. dana would you ever do that?

>> first the heights are a little scary, second it's windy and cold, so yeah, i was taking a little chill pill for a little while i'm glad you got here so we can actually get the adrenaline running again this feels good when you start moving a little bit. you've done this for over a decade now, does it get easier for you? >> definitely gets easier. the first three years i was really tire it tied but now, i feel like i own this building. >> i think you do own this building. if it's okay, it's going to be harder for me to play-by-play this but let's get moving a little bit and show tricks, so you can take off now and i'll follow you a little bit here. you start bouncing, and that's when it starts getting fun, right? >> definitely, being able to push off the building, and play around a little bit, running into each other. >> [laughter] >> get tangled in the ropes together. >> how is the wind impacting us here? >> it's interesting i just pushed down and i got pushed around the side of the building. >> i'm feeling the wind so you didn't do that on purpose. >> no. >> if i push out now, it'll probably carry me around the edge. >> i feel the wind coming in pretty strong from the west right now. >> i'm blowing. >> here i go. brian: i'm not sure, yeah, i guess he's doing that on purpose ainsley: the guy on the left has done this 25 years. >> can you hear me? steve: yeah, adam we can hear you. the guy who is screen to the left, he keeps going around the side of the building. is he doing that on purpose or is that the wind? >> he is not doing that on purpose. the wind is pulling us kind of off to the side of the building. it's pretty windy out here, the wind out of the west has been strong. we've already went down the building once and this is definitely the strongest its been. steve: has he ever been in conditions where it's this windy for this repelling down this building? i know he's done it for years. >> he says it has been close to this windy before, i don't know if he's been knocked to that side of the building before. my rope was along the further side, so he was kind of lined up along the side of the building so the wind took him over there pretty quickly. ainsley: look at brian. it's so fast. steve: just be careful. >> if i jumped off the building like you can see , i'm pushed to the left right now kind of over that direction, because of the wind, but i can start moving faster to try to get down and join cashman. ainsley: well we still don't see , brian, that went around the corner. is he okay? brian: he's still up at the top >> yeah, he's there. he's a lot higher. brian: they need a wider building. steve: we just need the wind, we've never had a problem. janice dean joins us right now, and oh, man, having some trouble there. janice? take a look at these windy conditions that adam klotz and brian and brian are facing. >> right this is something that you have to take a look at the weather conditions they certainly didn't have the snow and they got to the ground, congratulations, this is a lot harder than it looks. oh, adam you're the best, now how is brian? there he is. ainsley: we have two brians though, janice. steve: the other brian is still up there. >> have you ever seen that before? >> yes, we had wind like this on my first night. mrs. clause blew around the building because her dress acted like a sail. steve: oh, my gosh. >> i'm so glad i'm not doing this. brian: adam what are your reflections now that you did it? >> my reflections are that was awesome. the wind, i don't know, i wasn't expecting that i don't know if the mics were turned on but brian cashman was just saying his very first night doing this which was 10 years ago -- brian: 2010. >> the wind picked up and took mrs. clause's dress and wrapped her around the building so you have seen this before but it doesn't happen very often. >> and adam, it's safe, right? tell the folks even though it looks really dangerous they really hook you up to like six ropes. >> yeah, this is completely safe. we wound up getting blown around a little bit but we weren't going to fall. there was absolutely nothing that was going to happen. as soon as the wind died down we started coming back down again. that's all we did. >> i couldn't stay on the building it kept pulling me around the corner. >> totally safe. >> why does brian cashman do it every year? steve: for the kids. >> are you hearing them? why do you do it every year? >> it's a blast. i'm an adrenaline junkie. it's a fun thing. it's pretty cool. >> when you're sitting on that edge and the wind is blowing it's scary but you start moving and add adrenaline feels so good it feels great. steve: adam and by, brian, brian , job well done. congratulations. >> [applause] steve: it takes place sunday at 5:00 on the landmark building in stamford, connecticut. ainsley: have a great weekend, everyone. brian: thanks brian and brian.
