FOXNEWSW FOX And Friends Sunday December 27, 2020

Last 24 hours authorities were seen collecting evidence from a home outside of the city. You can see it there. It is unclear what red them there but a picture of the property in may of 2019 shows an rv parked in the backyard. It is similar to the one used in fridays bombing. More than 500 tips have come insofar. I am confident in the team we have. That we will get to the bottom of this. We will find out the story of this individual or individuals. We dont know right now. Reporter the explosion wiping out cell phone and Internet Service for many people across the south. At t is working to bring the system back online this morning. Tennessees governor is now seeking an Emergency Declaration from President Trump. Back to you guys. Will thank you, jackie. Good morning on fox friends will cain along with Rachel Campos duffy and griff jenkins. Information is coming in quickly. It is reasonable to assume well have answers who is behind the attack, between the motive and tips as jackie said. 500 tips coming in. Surveillance video, bombmaking materials. Authorities will have information soon. Fox news is not reporting the name at this point of the person of interest whose home has been searched. We learned lessons in the past, every News Organization should, how wrong initial information can be. Griff, there is no department to get your reputation back as we know by Richard Jewell. Rachel its a very strange case. There have been interviews with neighbors of the person of interest whose house is 12 miles south of the bomb site. Those neighbors said they have seen an rv for years in the backyard of this his home or parked there in the parking lot. The rv had not been there last couple days. Prior to the rv leaving the house they saw this person of interest tinkering with it, moving around. That was of interest. There was a deed given to a 29yearold woman. She is cooperating with the fbi. She is not answering any questions. The deed to two homes worth about 400,000. A lot of really strange details emerging in this case. Griff . Griff good morning to you, will. News organizations have been burned time and time again. They dont want to rush details. As someone who covered crime for this network for more than a decade the most unusual part of this is the warning before the blast. We just dont see that. I think investigators are going to really take their time also not only laying out the people behind this, identifying the suspects, perpetrators, but also trying to lay out the motive because it is really, really, unclear at this point. Meanwhile here in washington, guys, we have to talk about the big news. That is the president not signing that stimulus bill, sitting down in maralago. Of course as we all know this morning that extra Unemployment Benefits of 300 now expires for some 10 to 12 million americans. Here is the president in a series of tweets. Here is the first one where he simply trying to up the 600dollar payment to 2,000. Increased payments to the people. Get rid of the pork. 2,000 plus 2000 plus other not 600. Remember it was chinas fault. Will . Will absolutely. The president pointing out what many lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are beginning to say the stimulus checks need to be bigger. The 600 will not cut it at this time in you meek american moment. It needs to be increased to 2000. Joe biden taking a shot at the president as the Unemployment Benefits expire tweeting following. This has devastating consequences. This bill is critical. It needs to be signed into law now. Will lawmakers, griff as you point out will begin to meet tomorrow to try to forward a bill includes increases in stimulus checks or reduction in pork that the president will sign. Yesterday on fox friends we had Congressman Ken Buck republican from colorado on the program. He is willing to sign a bill that increases stimulus checks he made it very clear only if accompanied by a reduction spending foreign aid, pork in the Government Spending bill. Here is what he said. The president is saying is, make america first. Make america the priority. So stop funding foreign projects in a covid relief bill, knock that out and take that money and use to it fund the, give the American People a 2,000dollar check. If nancy pelosi does that, i think she will get overwhelming republican support. She will certainly have my support, but just add 2000dollar payment instead of 600dollar payment to pork in the bill is unacceptable,. Will some of that pork include items rolling past your screen. Includes money for Kennedy Center. Money to pakistan. Money to fisheries. Mon going across the country into government programs. That is what the president and many say needs to be reduced along with increase in covid relief stimulus checks, rachel. Rachel thats right. Listen, one of the things i find interesting, the 900 billiondollar covid relief bill was combined with the 1. 4 trillion in spending to cover the Government Spending. So i dont believe those bills should have been put together. They should have been separated from the beginning. Look, there is a lot of agreement on both the democrat and republican side that the payments should be increased from 600 to 2000 of covid relief, this onetime payment. The only person who didnt think it should be increased to 2,000 is interestingly joe biden, take 600 and all the pork. The did he bait between democrats and republicans is just over the pork, republicans say take it out and direct the money over to the American People to increase that payment. We have, what, 27 trillion of debt . This money is borrowed on the backs of our children. That is the debate here. It really show as stark contrast between biden who is like, look, washington business as usual, 600, take your crumbs and the pork and donald trump who is i think reflecting what the American People say, why is all this pork here . Griff ray well, will, let me way this out for you. Rachel as wife after politician you understand political calculations. The rub is that the president wasnt this involved way back when Mitch Mcconnell and other republicans were putting together this agreement to get the 600dollar checks out combining with the omnibus. Which is really fascinating to me. That for four years under President Donald Trump every time he does Something Like this everyone is out political suicide but in many cases it ended up benefiting him and many cases he was right. Now you have a runoff for the balance of the senate in georgia happening. Many people are already saying this is going to hurt kelly loeffler, this is going to hurt david perdue. Well see. No doubt ossoff and warn november will say look what President Trump did, failed 10 to 12 million folks with the Unemployment Benefits ran out. Who knows exactly how it is going to go. As you point out, will, congress is back tomorrow. Well find out how it plays out. Many assume it doesnt work out well for the president , that he is being destructive at the end rather than productive. Boy would it be something in the last week of 2020 you got a revamped deal with bigger checks for American People. Will i say, griff, the point you made i want to underline is the hoe knows part how this plays out. Traditional political analysis has never been more wrong than it has been over the last four years. Traditional political battle lines have never been more redrawn than they have over the last four years. President trump does not conduct business as usual. So how will that play out. How will it affect republican votes, democrat votes . How will it affect the way this bill goes forward . I dont think anyone has the answers and they certainly cant use traditional political analysis to find those answers. He has been an absolute maverick when it comes to get things done. Well see, whether or not it works out. Well turn to a few additional headlines starting with fox news alert. Three people are killed and three others are hurt in a shooting at a illinois bolling alley. The police say the gunman opened fire at a random attack in don carter lanes in rockford, 40 miles west of chicago. A suspect is in custody. Conditions of those hurt remain unclear at this time.

Nashville residents noel and Jeffrey Rasmussen join me this morning. So glad youre safe. Well start with that, start with the morning yesterday what is the first thing you remember from the incident . Sure. Yeah, this morning we were asleep in our beds. We had been up to about 2 00 a. M. Building toys and stuffing stockings for christmass eve. This was the first christmas in our home. We always travel back to see family. Because of covid we chose to stay home. And we, at about 5 55 in the morning we heard loud banging, pounding on our door, voices we could tell they were saying there was police and we needed to evacuate. So at that point of course in my pajamas to see what was going on and they were getting all the residents alerted and trying to get them cleared from the building. So there was, there was a policeman a police woman and image is very clear. Their faces were covered because of their masks, but all i could see was their eyes urgent and pleading and asking us please to it leave. I said, we have two young kids, we have a fouryearold and a oneyearold, it is 20 degrees and christmas. Is it really serious . Do we really have to leave . The police woman just stopped and wait you have, young kids . Please get them, please get them, go out the back stairwell, get out of the building. They had not said enough to cause alarm it was a bomb threat. They just said it was they just said Public Safety threat. Everyone needs to evacuate the building. Our head space, we didnt know if it was domestic dispute. Someone called suicide help line. We had no frame of reference what was going on. We live, downtown on the structure, cutest street a lot of people, my husband used to live in new york. He chose this spot. It was a cute Historic District you might find in new york so were used tourists, a lot of tourism happens in the honkytonks. We use the people in the block. Not this magnitude. There were questions of seriousness, necessity of leaving our christmas from our home. So excited with the surprise in the morning. When i saw the officers eyes there was this heart to heart moment with that female officer pleading, please get your kids and get out. I could tell she didnt have time to stand and mince words. I went in, told my husband. He had same reaction, what . Are you crazy . Where are you going to go . It is covid. In nashville there was no home at the moment. Will where did you go when you evacuated. We got in the car our pajamas. Our coats and diaper bag. Thats it, whatever shoes were by the door and we drove. Will how quickly were you able to get out of the apartment within a few minutes. A few minutes. Will then how, can you give us some proximity . Where was your apartment, second, third floor, and how far away from the rv, the suspected center of this bomb was your apartment . Sure, so our apartment is the on the second floor. It was a few buildings down. The rv was parked about two buildings down from us. This time we didnt know, our building stretches between the block. So the front of the building is on Second Avenue where the blast occurred. Will right. Our garage exit is first avenue. Officer said go back down the stairwell, exit on first avenue.

Griff welcome back the second round of covid19 relief still in flux as President Trump continues to fight for higher direct payments to americans. He doubled down on his demands yesterday, tweeting, i simply want to get our great people 2,000 rather than the measly 600 that is now in the bill. Also stop the billions of dollars in pork but it comes as millions of americans lose their unemployment benefit. How does this, how does the health of our economy tied to this bill . Lets bring in benchmark investments managing partner kevin kelly. Good morning to you. A lot of developments here, obviously the enhanced Unemployment Benefits expiring. What do you make of where things stand . Hopefully congress can get their act together. The most important takeaway is that the economy is actually doing very well. Weve seen robust demand and weve seen gdp do well. I think it has to do with other plans and policies from this Administration Like operation warp speed. Youre starting to see businesses are now wanting to open back up, knowing that there is a vaccine. So while this may be happening weve seen companies reinvest not only in their people but also their businesses. So i think the economy is in actually a very robust position regardless of what happened. Griff kevin, without getting too detailed in all of it, the political takeaway the president allowed the Unemployment Benefits expire. However, when you talk about state unemployment programs and Unemployment Benefits ultimately, there appears to be still some time for this not to have quite such a devestating impact on the economy it appears . Yes. We actually do have a little bit wiggle room that can go on especially concerning the states. So the real impact would be felt, you know, in
