Welcome back to on the hunt at foxnews.com.

Live -- -- of December and the the world according to the Mayan calendar.

We'll -- panic anybody I just put my brother who's in New Zealand.

It is well into December 21.

The world has not ended I can happily report although.

England did beat New Zealand the all blacks in the rugby a few weeks ago which to most kiwis is akin to the world ending to maybe get a sense it did for them but anyway moving on -- did do today was just a -- As you well know because I've just told you I some Barry is our defense specialist and -- -- dot com columnist.

Alison good to see you welcome back.

From the UK.

So -- we did the I guess the military know more about this than anybody -- -- not too worried.

Yes I have we -- -- to something honest today because we get so many questions from viewers than what's gonna happen what's the military doing for.

And stuff Alison -- -- it.

Yeah go ahead every one of our fighter jets circling the right now exactly as getting tons of questions -- they asked me to sort of address some of these rumors.

The reason why we haven't heard the military say anything about it because it's just business as normal.

It's not gonna happen.

A lot of -- experts you know I can't pretend to view and I'm not a specialist -- my thing.

Descriptions such but yet the -- that basically says -- -- unraveling these missing it's actually just kind of -- -- -- counters at home right hit.

December 31.

It turned the page you -- by any count is right that's kind of the idea about the world actually -- -- when our paper countless pictures are.

It's just so they give my address.

Let's face only Canada yes essentially what we don't think it's gonna -- this really -- goes out it's not a big deal but.

I mean it's nice to be done in some there were rumors of people where I am sure is -- it's fear mongering so it's not a cool and there's a lot of kind of conspiracy stuff on Internet so.

What we haven't I think the military US government has come forward on their -- said you know this isn't cool you're scaring children.

-- services in the world without going to end.

And the scientists some of our best scientists at NASA and then -- yes and they decided to fight back -- they've released quite.

Pretty aggressive media campaign back at these teams -- advocates and even police on the stuff and people -- -- that planets are about to collide.

Varying names planet acts debris you renew or something like that which is kind of similar -- that is actually I think hubris acts as a real planet and similar to creative.

And what I would say to viewers is if there was planet coming towards us I was about to -- Tomorrow we.

-- -- we know about -- but -- you know I was I was having interesting conversation.

This morning with a a professor at the Harvard Kennedy school of government has very addresses they don't get political idea that we can you it was he was fascinating he just that -- touch me and said the problem is I think I'd tweeted something about it.

About into the -- not happening and he said the problem is that.

As a society.

We gradually be getting we would gradually getting.

More and more gullible.

And I think he used -- woods than gullible.

And more more people believe these things and there's a dumbing down of society and we -- just think already own -- that must be true whatever we hit.

All the conspiracy theories out there on the blogs and everything it is dangerous.

It is dangerous and and it's not place to live in fear -- -- -- need for music made transient living affiliates report be prepared but if you live in fear.

You're letting terrorists wins or mother nature win or these conspiracy theories for example win that -- -- -- opportunity that I sent to you.

Serve underscored the importance of emergency preparedness just in general and I think people have just been through hurricanes -- know all too well.

You know it's they really mother nature can be quite dangerous and he won and they shouldn't have things at home all those basic things like water -- -- recommends three days but I actually recommend a week and that my friends in New York where actually they're either.

They apparently over dramatizing things that would look.

A lot of the meeting is one I get it for a week that's right it's you know -- shopping anyway he might as well get it.

And one of the big things -- people came back to me is a thank you -- That's the flashlight situation brightest don't believe me if you have blackout in this is one of the -- to that yes certainly it's going to have a meeting blackout right.

Which isn't extensive but -- Woolsey led minority and have this.

Yeah well of some high rise apartment building in the tank and there's no power it's pretty gone -- in this what was your anger that so the lesson really.

-- prepared for emergencies.

-- If -- don't be prepared for the apocalypse because it's not coming tomorrow.

And my dad -- -- if you let me turn on there's a study at Davis Cup keeping up there's just added it was published Wednesday this week so if that was yesterday.

Where it's at only five of our fifty states.

Had it -- 80% of preparedness for the full range of little acts or threats you know whether it's manmade or -- bioterrorism attack a counter attack.

Random act of violence -- -- tragically so -- you know past Friday in new town.

As well as for an infectious disease outbreaks and eating you type thing.

And he had that that is actually something to be terrified about Brad is actually pretty scary it's not acceptable and what's also worrying -- -- The state that scored the lowest have recently had major funding cutbacks and will we saw them in the aftermath of nine elevenths and the anthrax attacks was you know -- was.

What quite correctly and focus was being placed on him and bring up public health preparedness for -- -- tornado preparedness Hurricane Katrina you know for a hurricane preparedness.

But now people -- lost focus they feel like it's over oh we kill bin Laden.

But we've just seen with -- -- you know and now we've got these winter storms.

You really -- she prepares -- You one of things that they're focusing on that was the still State's bills on was school preparedness -- not acceptable GAAP and even if you're getting 80% you know that's ridiculous when those states but wait period.

What if an average -- falls in the 20% you're not it was so -- being -- -- -- is we -- 80% you know -- Yeah -- sandy told a lot of people that they've you know you gonna take it seriously sometimes these.
