Unphased. Were live in washington. Todd a christmas photo shoot turns from holiday fun to a toddlers terror. Jillian the visit from the grinch that is obviously going viral. Fox friends first starts right now. Jillian you can barely see the tops of the buildings out there. Its a foggy one. How is it in d. C. , griff. Griff its hard to believe its november 23rd and thanksgiving is days away. Jillian it is unbelievable. Good morning, youre watching Fox Friends First on this monday. Im jillian mele. Griff and im Griff Jenkins, in for todd piro. Well, the Trump Campaign firing back after a judge knicks nix tr lawsuit. Jillian this comes as President Trumps legal team distances itself from attorney Sidney Powell. Reporter legal battles continue. The Trump Campaign is coming up against deadlines in a number of states to certify election results. The trump team meantime is distancing itself from attorney and former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell who had alleged this kind of vast International Conspiracy to overturn the results of the election. Heres a statement from the trump team. Sidney powell is practicing law on her own. She is not a member of the trump legal team. She is also not a lawyer for the president in his personal capacity. Now, some of powells legal claims involved questions about dominion voting systems which provides Election Software for a number of states. If someone tried to alter the electronic record, the printed paper ballots wouldnt match. Its not possible and there are no connections between our company and venezuela, germany, barcelona, whatever the latest Conspiracy Theory is. Reporter michigan meantime is up against a deadline to certify its election results, showing joe biden is the clear winner. One republican member of the state canvassing board may vote against certification and that may lead to another legal battle. I can say this. The law is very clear. And the role of the state canvassers, under the law, is very clear. Its to certify the election. Theres no Legal Authority under state law to do anything other than confirm the election results. Reporter now, the biden team dismisses all of these trump legal challenges. It is clear that they are growing increasingly anxious about the delayed transition process. Griff all right. Thanks, doug. Jillian Alan Dershowitz says the trump legal path is difficult but possible. Let me give you my completely objective, not wishful thinking, conges constitutional anil constitutional analysis. They have two or o three legal paths. In pennsylvania, they have the argument that the courts changed what the legislature did about counting votes. They have a winning issue on equal protection, that some counties allowed floored ballots to be cured, while others didnt. The other legal theory they have is that the computers, either fraudulently or by glitches changed hundreds of thousands of votes. There, there are enough votes to make a difference but i havent seen the evidence to support that. So in one case they dont have the numbers. In the other case they dont seem yet to have the evidence. Maybe they do. I havent seen it. But the legal theory is there to support them if they have the numbers and they have the evidence. Griff tomorrow president elect joe biden is expect offed to announce his first cabinet picks. Tony blankin is said to be the department of state. He served as National Security advisor under the obama administration. Two democratic sources telling fox news linda thomas greenfield is expected to be tapped for un ambassador and Jake Sullivan will likely be the pick for National Security advisor. We are expecting the biden team to officially announce cabinet picks tomorrow. Jillian overnight, we learned californias governor and his family are you now in quarantine after being exposed to covid19. It comes as new restrictions are placed in los angeles. Griff Ashley Strohmier joins us live with thanksgiving week among us, as the u. S. Records 20 Straight Days of 100,000 new cases. Reporter governor gavin newsom said three kids were exposed to a california highway patrolman who tested positive for covid19. He said the family tested negative on sunday. They will quarantine for 14 days, this as los angeles shuts down inperson dining for three weeks, 24 hours after putting a 10 00 p. M. Curfew you in place. The ban goes into effect at 10 00 p. M. Wednesday. In california protesters in Huntington Beach took to the streets in def defines of newsos curfew. In new york, Governor Cuomo said more restrictions are on the way. We have several communities that are in the warning track. Staten island is a serious problem. Staten island is also a problem in terms of overburdening hospitals. Upper manhattan will go into a yellow zone, parts of nassau will go into a yellow zone, parts of suffolk will go into a yellow zone. Reporter even with the surge in cases, its not stopping people from traveling for thanksgiving. Tsa said it screened more than 2 Million People friday and saturday. They say the overall number of travelers is still down. There is good news on the horizon out of operation warp speed. Listen. On the 11th or on the 12th of december, hopefully the first people will be immunized. Across the United States, 70 or so of the population being im miffed would allow immunized would allow for true herd immunity to take place. That is lakely likely to happen sometime in the month of may. Reporter they will figure out where the vaccines need go first. Coming up, dr. Nesheiwat is joining us to talk about the first round of vaccines and how to travel safely for the holidays. Jillian ashley, thank you. Griff well, dr. Tom inglesby says news of the vaccine is something we should all be celebrating. I wouldnt call this good news, i would call this great news. Its fantastic, probably the best news weve had since the start of the pandemic. We have two vaccines making their way through the approval process that may be as high as 95 effective and seem to be safe based on the information weve seen so far. Obviously, they need to go through the usual fda review process and thats going to begin now for one of the vaccines and will begin shortly for the second. But if it does get through that process and if they are reviewed by an external Scientific Committee which has no stake in the outcome, except for the safety and effectiveness for americans of these vaccines, then i will have confidence in those vaccines. Griff new overnight, the vaccine buy oxford and astrazeneca was found to be on average 70 effective. Gillian. Jillian now to a fox news alert. Two people are killed in a church stabbing, Police Responding overnight to the Grace Baptist Church in san jose, california. At least one other person was hurt. Police say Homeless People were brought inside to get them out of the cold. Police have not confirmed an arrest. Griff in new york city, at least one person is killed and six injured in a shooting at an apartment building. Its unclear what led to the violence in brooklyn. No arrests have been made yet. This is the latest in a long list of violent crime, putting residents on. , including a man using a flame thrower on top of a city bus and a woman being pushed onto a subway track. She survived after rolling between the tracks. Thankfully. A congresswoman daelect will jn us next hour to weigh in. Jillian joe biden remaining silent on a black lives matter event. They look to expunge records regarding nonviolent drug crimes. It was introduced by Rashida Tlaib and ey ayana pressly. Griff the American Music awards happened last night. Justin bee bette bieber kicked e show with help from sean man me. The weekend caused some confusion with his headwear. Watch. Jillian the weekend wearing head bandages to warn people of the kind of injuries that result from drunk driving. He took home three awards. The nights biggest award, artist of the year, going to taylor swift. Griff swift thanking fans as well, confirming fans she is rerecording her music in her acceptance speech. Earlier this month Scooter Braun said he sold the rights for swifts first six albums, the reasons she is rerecording them. Jillian oh, the trauma. President elect drama. President elect biden already filling key positions in his cabinet. Griff is the biden camp jumping the gun . We have a live report, next. The cabinet and the team will look like america. That means diversity of ideology, diversity of background and he wants to have a range of views of people at the table. But he wants to have a diversity of voices at the table because he fully understands thats how hes going to move an agenda forward. Jillian president elect joe biden moving forward with cabinet picks despite the president s ongoing claims of voter fraud. Team trump says theyre aiming all the way to the Supreme Court. Griff so will their strategy work . Joining us now is constitutional law expert, mark smith. Good morning, mark. How are you . Good morning. Griff lets go right into what president elect biden we expect from the cabinet announcement. Theres three names here, tony blankin for secretary of state, Jake Sullivan, un ambassador and linda thomas greenfield, ltg as shes known, at the state department. Its interesting because three names, we heard about the diversity of voices but these are people that have been establishment washington folks, very different from what we saw in the early appointments in the trump administration. Yeah, i think thats right. The thing to keep in mind, though, is what were really looking at here though is Performance Art and what i mean by that is that joe biden is trying to act as if this election is over and hes acting as if it is by going through the process of the transition, by picking these people for the cabinet. As you know, he doesnt have any legal object of ga obligation te cabinet until after hes the president in january. Why is he doing it . The reason why hes doing it is hes trying to avan advance the narrative that the president ial election is over. President trump is trying to advance a different narrative. Donald trump wants to convey the impression that the election is not over. Thats why you see ongoing legal proceedings, ongoing lawsuits and you see press conferences associated with the same because of course President Trump is trying to convey a competing narrative of this is not over. And thats why regardless of who joe biden announces for his cabinet this week, really at the end of the day its just about advancing a narrative and substantively is not that important. Because remember, we dont even know who the u. S. Senate is right now until the two seats in georgia are filled. Remember, for a cabinet pick, the senate gets to sign off on it by a confirmation hearing. Jillian just to turn it around a little bit and play devils advocate, could one make the argument that joe biden is doing what he can do right now, what he has the power to control and do himself, because as you know, the conversation has been that hes not been privy to the transitional information that he otherwise would have been, meaning things going on with the coronavirus and to be able to get his plan in place for that, so is he doing now all he can be doing . Well, i think theres two levels here. On the one hand, certainly getting uptospeed, learning information, figuring out strategy, that is a legitimate thing for joe biden to be doing. But the public announcement part of it, announcing to the world who his cabinet picks will be if and when he becomes president is a little bit different. I think he can do all the work he needs to do to lay the foundation to be president , without actually the public announcement. The public announcement part i think is really part of the narrative, the underlying work that goes into transitioning of course can be done quietly behind the scenes. It doesnt have to be done with a splashy news headline. Griff let me quickly show you over in pennsylvania the judge ruled against the trump team. They said their goal is to go to the Supreme Court. How does this end . Well, i think the case out of pennsylvania is going to end with the u. S. Supreme court. Theres several important matters about what votes are to be counted and did the pennsylvania count votes that should not have been counted. That will end i believe with the Supreme Court making the decision. The other interesting cases of course are really factdriven and that involves discovery and investigation and donald trump frankly is running out of time with some of the factual investigation because most lawsuits literally take years to undergo and figure things out. Donald trump only has a matter of weeks to figure out some of these factual bases to figure if theres a basis for changing the popular vote in some of the states like michigan, wisconsin and the like and he is running out of time so if they have the evidence its time for them to come forward and show it and prove it in court. Jillian a lot of people saying that, Chris Christie over the weekend saying you have an object of gas station to present the evidence obligation to present the evidence, the evidence has not been presented. Were waiting to see what evidence they come up with. Thank you for your insight. We appreciate it. Thank you. Griff all right. Still ahead, as parents demand schools reopen in new york city, Governor Cuomo appears to agree with them. Why would you want the child to go to to stay at home. Youre going to go outside, theyre going to run around in a 3 community. Griff so when will mayor de blasio reopen schools . Councilman joe berelli joins us next.

Welcome back. A second lawsuit filed in new york city as parents demand schools reopen. Inperson learning has been shut down in the nations Largest School district since thursday. New york city councilman joe borelli is fighting the legal battle and he joins me now. Good morning. Good to see you. Good morning. Jillian have you received any sort of response, any productive response . No. Look, were still waiting for the hearing on the first lawsuit. This lawsuit, however, we opened in federal court and we hope to have a hearing on this one within 10 days. But as people alluded to, even Governor Cuomo is now coming around to saying that questioning why new york city would decide to close Public Schools anyway. We had a system where if there was an outbreak, a cluster in the schools, on the few times that that happened, the school would be closed temporarily. That actually seemed to have been working. The doe was doing a good job of keeping schools relatively safe, relatively covidfree and relatively well ventilated. Its unfortunate they decided because of an arbitrary number, 3 positivity, to close the schools. Jillian we have two things to support that. The Positivity Rate that was it was 0. 19 in the new York City Schools system, that was the day before it was announced that the schools were going to be closed again and then you mentioned what Governor Cuomo had to say about this. Lets go ahead and take a listen. The school is safer than the local community. Why would you want a child to go to stay to stay at home. Theyre going to go outside, theyre going to run around, in a 3 community. Jillian i imagine there are a lot of frustrations here for parents. Number one, all of a sudden having to try to figure out how to do the Home Learning again, as a lot of people had to do in the spring. Number two, the mixed messaging thats been going on here, are those the biggest frustrations at this point . Well, yeah. Its been constant. The mayor and the governor cant even agree on what the Positivity Rate is for new york city. The mayor saying its three point something. The governor saying its two point something. Its arbitrary and capricious, the decision to close Public Schools. Only 138 kids out of 264,000 who have been participating in inperson learning have tested positive. I dont want those 138 kids to get covid or their families. When we get a low number, we can isolate that particular classroom and School Building and shut those down temporarily and not do this massive citywide shutdown. Like you said, jill, parents have to figure out what to do with their kids, both educationally and even from a babysitting standpoint. Most of us cant tell our boss we have to take off the rest of the year because the Public School system shut down. Thats exactly what the ram any cases are going to ramifications are going to be from shutting down the schools. Jillian we wonder about the longterm effect of having kids of certain ages out of school for a year if not longer, talking about development, talking about knowledge, talking about social skills. Theres a lot of things at play here. Joe borelli, keep us updated on everything and well talk soon, my friend. Thank you. Griff time now of, 26 minutes after the hour. A return to normalcy on the horizon . Dr. Jeanette nesheiwat calls the promising vaccine news a blessing and lays out a timeline for when we could see herd immunity. As we go to break, a look at Justin Bieber and sean mendez performing at last nights ama. Since pioneering the suv in 1935, the chevy suburban has carried many things. Nothing more important than family. Introducing the most versatile and advanced chevy suburban and tahoe ever. Jillian we are reportedly just weeks away from the first covid19 vaccine doses and the chief of operation warp speed is readying for more good news. On the 11th or on the 12th of december, hopefully the first people will be immunized. Across the United States, 70 or so of the population being immunized would allow for true herd i immunity to take place, likely to happen somewhere in the month of may. Griff here to respect, forks news medical contributor dr. Jeanette nesheiwat. Your reaction to the announcement . This is extraordinary, griff. This is really a miraculous blessing. This is what we need. This is the light at the end of the tunnel. Like he said, probably about 70 of americans need to be vaccinated so we can reach whats called herd immunity. What does this mean for us . That means no more social distancing, no more wearing of masks, no more lockdowns or shutdowns. Hopefully, december 11th the first batch of vaccines will be shipped out and people will be able to get vaccinated. Those who are at high risk, those who are on the frontlines, first responders, will be the first to receive the vaccine. Not too long after, hopefully by april, everyone else will be able to immunized. You need about two doses and we can reach that herd immunity no later hopefully than may, just in time for the summertime. This is great news, definitely couldnt be a better time. We need it to help reduce the amount of cases that we have as we see we have over 250,000 deaths already in this country. We really need to tackle those numbers and turn it around. Jillian well take any good news with these vaccine as we can at this point. You can see there, 20 million vaccines ready in december, thats the projection and the hope, 30 million vaccines a month in 2021. I want to talk about thanksgiving travel. A lot of people at this point in time still trying to figure out is it safe to see my family whavment do i do . People are struggling with this. Youll see that thanksgiving air travel so far, more than a Million People traveled on friday, almost a Million People traveled on saturday. Thats even beating the projection of the thanksgiving travel in its whole. If you take a look, 2. 4 million air travelers were expected. That was on the busiest days. What is your advice to people who are still contemplating . Sure. This is a challenge. Right now, the best thing we should do is try to comply with the cdc guidelines and that is do not travel right now. Its just not worth the risk, especially if youre a high risk patient, over the age of 65 with underlying medical disease, if you have high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease, kidney disease, youre at a high risk. What the cdc is recommending, stay home, stick within your bubble, dont go outside unless its necessary, dont travel unless its necessary, especially with the cold weather. The temperatures are decreasing. The hospitalizations are increasing. The fatalities are increasing. Hospitals are full. We see in texas, we have the military deployed to help manage the morgue because of the high rise in the number of covid deaths. Its not worth the risk right now. We were able to take a pause with holiday celebrations with easter. We can do it one more time. That vaccine is weeks away. We need to do the best we can to protect ourselves, to protect our community. We dont want to see military deployed to go help manage a morgue like we see in texas right now, like we saw we needed that help also in new york when the hospitals were overwhelmed, overburdened. They had to use semitrucks with coolers to put patients who passed away in. Its definitely heartbreaking. We know what to do to help minimize the transmission of the virus. Its a matter of being compliant, stay strong, stay healthy, until the vaccine is available. Jillian its a tough decision for a lot of people out there. Dr. Nesheiwat, thank you as always. If we dont talk to you before then, have a great thanksgiving. You too. Thank you, jillian and griff. Griff all right. The g20 summit wrapping up over the weekend with a vow to provide covid19 vaccines for all, the meeting of Global Leaders taking place virtually due to the pandemic. Jillian trey yingst joins us live as President Trump slams the paris climate accord. Trey. Reporter griff, jillian, good morning. The g20 summit took place virtually with World Leaders addressing issues like climate change, global debt and of course the covid19 pandemic. We do know around the world more than 58 million cases of covid19 have been recorded with more than 1. 3 million dead. Every country now focused on how to distribute vaccines. The g20 leaders released a final conclusion on this saying, quote, we will spare no effort to ensure their affordable and equitable access for all people. Theres concerns bout vaccine favoriteism boffe based on socil status and economic wellbeing. The other matter discussed was climate change. President trump left the paris climate agreement in 2017, a deal meant to strengthen the Global Response to climate change. Desphiet t spite the other despite the other participants being signatores to the accord, President Trump rallied against it. The paris accord was not designed to save the environment. It was designed to kill the American Economy. I refuse to surrender millions of american jobs and send trillions of american dollars to the worlds worst poll lieutenanters and polluters and environmental offenders. Reporter the paris climate agreement is one of many deals that the United States will likely rejoin when president elect Biden Takes Office in january. Griff, jil jillian. Griff thanks, trey. Jillian Fox News Contributor lisa booth says the days of America First are done with the Biden Administration in charge. Take a listen. I think the biggest difference were going to see is the days of putting America First will be over. Its going to be putting america last again. I think one of the best examples of that is the paris climate accord. And joe biden has said if he ends up being the president that what he is going to do is sign us back into the paris climate agreement on day one. Remember, when President Trump pulled out of it, he said its because he represents the citizens of pittsburgh, not paris, thats not the way joe biden you views things. Jillian in addition to the paris climate accord, Biden Campaigned on rejoining the iran nuclear agreement. Griff a 15yearold boy is arrested in connection to a wisconsin mall shooting that sent eight to the hospital. The teen allegedly opened fire inside the mall outside milwaukee, then ran out with a panicked crowd friday. Police say the shooting was due to anil tear case an altercation, officers found a gun during his arrest. Several others were taken into custody. No other details were given.

Florida deputieses were pursuing the suspect, matthew thomas, after he drove off during a traffic stop. He was cornered at a Storage Facility where he shot one officer in the leg.

Her Campaign Said she tested negative sunday after she had a positive test and inconclusive test over the weekend. She campaigned with Vice President mike pence on friday. Loefflers Campaign Says she does not have symptoms. Jillian president elect joe biden is expected to visit georgia to help campaign for senatorial candidates john ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Ron klain said theyre doing all they can to help the two Democratic Candidates win the runoff. Weve already moved people who were working on the Biden Campaign on the recounts down there over to be supportive in the field work for our candidates down there. Jillian warnock is running against republican senator Kelly Loeffler while ossoff is trying to unseat republican senator david perdue. Runoff election is on january 5th. Griff dozens of georgia veterans are calling on Raphael Warnock to drop out of the Senate Runoff race because of past comments he made from the pulpit. Listen here. America, nobody can serve god and the military. You cant serve god and money. You cannot serve god and at the same time. America choose ye to say who you will serve. Jillian Carley Shimkus here with the latest on that. Carley Raphael Warnock is facing backlash from veterans over a sermon he gave in 2011 when he said you cant serve military and got at the same time. Over four dozen georgia veterans released a statement on the subject saying Raphael Warnocks comments are despicable and flatout wrong. True leaders recognize the sacrifice of all who defended the nations conside criticism. Senators are also calling for him to drop out of the race with cotton tweeting this is an insult for everyone who served. Marsha blackburn saying Raphael Warnocks radical antiamerican views are disqualifying, he should withdraw from the Georgia Senate race. Hes locked in a tight battle with Kelly Loeffler, that will take place in the georgia runoff on january 5th. Griff carley, lets me take you out west, theyre taking to the streets, protesters upset about governor newsome curfew orders. Carley hundreds of people flooded the streets over the weekend in defy yanks of governor newsoms curfew that went into effect on saturday. There were hundreds of people in Huntington Beach carrying signs in front of the pier, saying theyre not going to stay inside because californias governor is saying that. 16 california counties and eight sheriffs departments also not enforcing newsoms covid19 orders with the Orange County sheriff saying let me be clear, this is a matter of personal responsibility and not a matter of law enforcement. So a lot of pushback over those orders, guys. Jillian its only monday but social media might have found the most adorable story of the week. Carley youre so right. You know the pictures of kids that are crying on santas lap. Well, this toddler got an even bigger scare when the grinch snuck up behind her during her christmas photo shoot. So georgia mom shamika ales posted this on facebook saying she will laugh at these when she gets older. Griff its scary having a large, green grinch sneak up behind you, its terrifying. Carley its terrifying. I have to point out the beautiful Christmas Setup with the gorgeous couch in the middle of the forest. So good for them. Mission accomplished. Shes going viral here. The whole world has now noticed. Jillian dr. Fauci theyve been ex santa has been ex settlement fro exemp. He has immunity. Santa wont be spreading any infections to anybody. Griff thank goodness. Now kids can have a sigh of relief that santa will still be coming to town. You better be good. Jillian i wonder if santa still has to take the vaccine. Griff hes ahead of the curve. Worry not. Still ahead, we have a lot more, more pandemic restrictions impacting millions of Business Owners nationwide. What can congress do to keep main street afloat .

Is the American Economy barreling toward a covid cliff with relief programs set to expire at the end of the year and House Democrats blocking a Small Business extension for the 40th time. Will main street be able to survive . Financial expert dan geltrue joins me with his take. Thanks for getting up. Such an important, important topic to be discussing. What do you see, if anything, coming out of this divided congress . Well, you know, a lot of times they say that split government is a good thing because theres a balance of power. And in this particular case, as it pertains to stimulus, its not so great at all. You have the senate and the house so far apart in the amount of aid that theyre looking to provide. So we really have to focus in on getting some type of compromise deal done during the lame duck session. Now, what i would tell you is i think they need to really focus in on getting business as much help as possible. The ppp program, although imperfect and done in a very short period of time, was extremely helpful in keeping businesses afloat and allowing them to keep people employed. That is whats critical here. We need to keep people off of unemployment, griff. If we dont do that, its a big problem. Griff so dan, let us show our viewers the programs that are ending on december 30. Have you the pandemic emergency unemployment compensation, an important one there, pandemic unemployment assistance for all those looking for jobs, student loan funds and requirement for sick leave. Mark green was talking about this yesterday on americas news headquarters. Heres a look at what he had to say. I want to get your reaction. We dont need a 3 trillion package, bailout to blue cities and states, giving a stimulus check to every illegal immigrant in the country. The absurd wish list that you schumer and pelosi sent to mcconnell last week, thats not going to happen regardless of the vaccine. The way to fix the economy is to open up government. Griff clearly mark green stating his view. You have had at least some conversations between the big four, as theyre known in washington, pelosi, schumer, mccarthy and mcconnell. Do your yo do you think theyn get some compromise to bring some aid to the people that need it the most . They really dont have a choice, griff.
