thanks for being with us this evening. we look forward to a happy thanksgiving all across this great land of ours. have a great holiday and good night and sussex. ♪ kennedy: we got breaking news tonight. president trump stickies them the eyes of his critics by pardoning his former national security adviser michael flynn. and he did it, how else, with a tweet that read it is my great honor to announce that general michael t flynn is been granted a full pardon. congratulations to general flynn and his wonderful family bird i know you will now have a truly fantastic thanksgiving. as you probably know general flynn pleaded guilty twice to lying to the fbi during the investigation into russian meddling. and the 2016 presidential election. his supporters have always claimed he was real good and

scapegoated as part of what the president famously called a witch hunt. and now, o man are the president's critics. among them house speaker judiciary committee chair jerry nadler who had many of the russian hearings. and he said quote this pardon is undeserved, unprincipled and one more stain on president trump's a rabidly deleting presidency. subject is abusing his power? let's get into our pre-thanksgiving party panel we've got former cia officer, mike baker is here pretty what about diligence? you can say that. we've also got reason magazine reason.com editor-in-chief and former house press secretary the one and only rochelle ritchie hello everyone. kennedy: @let's discuss, mike

baker this is clearly an abuse of power. the president has gone mad and has a waning days in the white house. tell me what happened? >> the republic is ending this is yet another example. this is a no-brainer's far as i am concerned. if you are going to use the presidential pardon power. as offered to the president by the constitution, then i think pardoning flynn makes very good sense. i don't think this is going to lead to any further widening of this. i think right and people are breathless is going to pardoning amanda forward next. he's going to pardon himself, which is almost as inane as that narrative that went on for three years or so. that we need the military to pull president trump out of the white house if he lost the election.

everybody needs to calm down. the case against lieutenant general flynn was shot from hull from the beginning. it was a very, very light sensor was a process crime. the prosecution and the defense won this case dismissed then dutch emmett sullivan decided it was his responsibility to ignore that. and rather than act as an umpire between two competing parties now they both want to dismiss and he said let's keep it going. i'm fully on board with this pardon. kennedy: there were some issues about the fbi questioning of general flynn. at one point he was told there was an informal meeting. he asked if he should have a returning and they're like if you have an attorney then working have an attorney's going to get real serious real

fast let's keep it informal part let's keep the party polite. but rochelle, you do take issue with this pardon, why? >> absolutely. this is an obstruction of justice and abuse of power. i mean michael flynn, she said candy, pled guilty twice. the thing about it is now that he has to pardon he cannot plead the fifth. once he has to testify again. but i don't trust him. if he lied once he's going to lie again as he has before. you cannot trust his actions for you cannot trust his words. but you can trust his pattern. this should not have happened for this is a menu pled guilty to this. there are people sitting in jail right now, right now for crimes they did not commit. there are people who pray for those crimes and cannot vote in an election. and yet this man is able to walk away scott free. >> is definitely obstruction of justice. kennedy: i don't know that we are going to talk about equal weight to those comparisons. someone like james comey, he

perjured himself before congress and andrew mccabe lied to fbi investigators present andrew mccabe essentially created the same crime that michael flynn did. maybe he should rot in a turkish prison as well but i like to ask you, katherine who else would you like to see the president pardon with his writing time? >> i have a tremendous list if he is interested. but i think one category you should really think about is whistleblowers. and i know this could be controversial. i think edward snowden is a candidate. [inaudible] these are people who for better or worse it did what they did because i thought it was best for the country. i think it would be a real opportunity for trump to make a name for himself. the other category he should think about is people who are in jail for up victimless drug crimes.

he made a big deal about the first step act. he should be applauded for that. he is already high profile has tons of applause for paired rightly sober there are still so many people who deserve a second chance. he could do that if there are federal crimes absolutely. matt gates had a creative one, florida congressman said he should pardon joe exotic part of all for that i'll tell you why a little later in the show. very quickly mike baker really have about 15 seconds. you are all for that snowden party earned you? >> i am. you know i've never answered a question of 15 seconds .-ellipsis an impossible task. i'm fully on board with the victimless drug crimes. i think the prison reform is essential and absolutely important part i think we are going to go to the mat on this on pardoning snowden that's

just me the widow i know. i think if you make the bar, your pardoning somebody because they thought they did what was best for the country, what they thought, then i think we are opening up some issues here. anyway that is just me, would wind up respected certainly has led to reforms in an ongoing seven-year conversation that does not look like were going to the end of that chapter soon put in the meantime it looks like no there's trouble in paradise for progressives and the biden transition team. since the day sleeping joe is made the big uber the lefties have been demanding more from bernie sanders and elizabeth warren get some plum gigs in the biden cabinet. secretary of labor, secretary of treasury perhaps? on nbc news old joe threw cold water on that idea, watch. >> we arty have significant representation among progressives in our administration. but there is nothing off the table. one thing is really critical,

taking someone out of the senate. taking someone out of the house at a particular person of consequence is really difficult decision that would have to be made. i have a very ambitious, very progressive agenda. and it is going to take really strong leaders in the house speaker and senate to get it done. kennedy: but not that strong principally socialist progressive stand for this kind of snob? rochelle, this is very interesting. should joe biden think about nominating bernie sanders and elizabeth warner for two of those cabinet positions? >> no, i don't think so. and the reason why is he needs them in the senate right now. their republicans are still controlling the senate. if he has a progressive agenda is going to need their support to push that agenda through. i understand those on the far left want to see warren and sanders sitting at the table.

but i still think that biting is going to give them a special year when it comes to how he is leading in the oval office. i think is just exactly where they are pretty arty had the governor of massachusetts say that hey, i've warren was appointed to a position in the cabinet, they are going to actually veto legislation that says they have to place her seats with a democrat. that's problematic there as wel well. kennedy: there are republican governors in vermont and massachusetts. however in vermont governor phil scott would say he would appoint an independent who caucuses with a democrat. grow a pair phil. katherine, i think joe biden actually likes the idea of having a republican-controlled senate do you think he is sort of happy about not putting bernie and liz on the cabinet? >> you and i have talked about how i'm really getting on team gridlock here.

i think we are getting really good results already even from a plausible threat of gridlock. it is not a sure thing at of course because were waiting for georgia. it gives biden cover to do what he has done his whole career which is sticking to the middle of the pack. follow the party, even now when he is undeniably the leader of his party he would like to not stick as net out for these progressives. i would also very much like him not to stick his neck out for these progressives. and so if this lines up my desires and joe biden's desires i'm all for it. before that so kinky. so mike baker what are you willing to bet that joe biden puts one of these two progressives stalwarts, it's fun he said he needs people of consequence in the senate. but they are no so consequential that they need to be in a cabinet position that require senate approval. >> no, i'm willing to go on

the table right now and bet your entire year's salary that neither warren nor sanders and ebony cabinet. and part of it is exactly that. they need to stay in the senate. to accomplish anything. i don't believe biden has a mover progressive itinerary out there. kennedy: no way. >> that would indicate he's changing his ways. washington loves this. we are moving into a period of time but is most comfortable for washington d.c. part they love it. the career diplomats, the lobbyist, the politicians. everybody loves when nothing happens. for arty seeing it to some of the appointments are coming down the pike as we are not going to get that shock in our cabot that some on the rights are throwing out there in an effort to fear monger. it's all my god he's going to appoint omar to the cabinet. her birdies and be the secretary of labor. i don't see that happening.

i think we are going to get is what washington loves best which is status quo. kennedy: because status quo in a partially katherine knows this all too well, that only breeds more spending. and it is sad. but at this point they have enough to disagree about split houses. and we pan will be returning to talk about thanksgiving pretty want to check out my pole twitter.com at kennedy nation. what is the best cranberry sauce? canned or fresh? health passwords could be the next big thing in the post- global world. all yet medical surveillance, you are hosed. but happily protect our privacy and prevent governments from tracking us? it would you pay $50 for a rapid covid test so you could eat at a restaurant and listen to live music worry free? that is all coming out. stay here. ♪

kennedy: the travel and tourism industry are as sluggish as ever. they're going to be even worse than eating two turkey legs and chug a glass of gravy. all hell have the whole picture. with covid killing the industry airlines, healthcare companies art having health passports. they prove a traveler is

immune pride sounds good on paper but several liberty groups can be highly obtrusive and violate our privacy. not to mention the science is still out on how long immunity last on recovery. drug companies cannot yet can't guarantee those backs and he won't spread the virus anyway. so the health passwords just a wolf in sheep's clothing right now question climbing up cato institute research fellow and former cia imagery analyst patrick eddington. hi patrick respect i kennedy has a going court? before welcome aboard. i know they don't freak you out as much as they freak me out. i think big companies like airlines acting in concert with the government to track where we have been and how healthy we are with health passports. what parts of this give you pause? >> it's an efficacy thing for one thing. he taught shallot of

variables. the big one of course is a lot of these tests have been used are not necessarily that reliable anyway. we get to this whole issue of the vaccine, for starters the vast majority of people until sometime in 2021. all this for my suit happened the spring. when covered became it thing for all of us. i see a lot about contact raising apps and the rest of that. they make you demo this on your phone and so on and so forth. and to be clear there are absolutely concerns there. even in the time that's going on, my reaction is it's probably not going to happen because most about not going to download the app. it's happened it's not going on here in virginia. and secondly, we talk about contact raising and try to keep track of people, we are way beyond that point. spector not janco job contact tracy. i'm going to talk to dr.

nicole saphier at a little bit. they cannot even trace 80% of the covid cases. so that is not happening. but there is a difference between going out of your way to download an app when you really have no intent to fulfill that on your end. and people who really want to travel. people who want to go see family members. and people with wonder at last to want to go to europe. because now, my worry is something like a health passport will follow you. and they are going to figure out what you have had. where you have been. and who you've talked to. it's not just the airlines that are doing this. it is also governments that screw privacy. they're going to put all of your health records on there. >> the thing is, right now on this planet there are 13 countries where you cannot even set foot unless you present a certificate of fox nation for yellow fever. right? and there are dozens of other countries whereby if you go through a country that has

yellow fever hotspot, if you are in the airport for 12 or more hours you better have that certificate with you. the idea of having to prove immunization. kennedy: you know covid and yellow fever are vastly different. you can avoid yellow fever and avoid places where there has been an outbreak. with covid that is pretty prevalent, widespread and globa global. stupid but so is the flu, right? the flu is something that happens that happens all over the globe. if anyone wants to raise an objection to this they should basically be saying we shouldn't do this for the flu why do need to do for this? why didn't we do it for sars 17 years ago? why do we do it for bola? why do we do for this? there's a level of discrimination is taken place here. i think it is ill advised. but again i think people going wrapped around the axle about the wrong thing. but people ought to be angry about his real id. make bring up such a good short i want to bring it back

up on the show to talk about that. i don't think people realize was going to happen the following 2020 when we are forced to get all new ids, drivers license, anything short of a passport. that is also crazy business. my worry about the health passport it is a bell that would not be on wrong even when covid passes. patrick eddington thank you so much. select thank you. kennedy: is a stunning admission from the los angeles county public health. they said they have no scientific evidence to justify shutting down in person dining in restaurants, let alone outdoor dining. the u.s. is hitting some grim pandemic milestones. yesterday the most deaths in one day since maple hospitalizations are up around the country. we've got to separate fact from fiction but what's the smartest way for americans to continue to fight the spread as we officially us from the holiday season with a family member we missed dearly. here with me now memorial sloan and fox news contributor

dr. nicole saphier's back. welcome back. >> hi kennedy great to be here. >> this is crazy. first of all the rules are changing. but the l.a. county department of health only 3.1% of people who were infected with covid can be traced back to restaurants. so why are they killing these businesses who so desperately need the customers right now? >> candidates difficult for people to be motivated. you have public health officials make decisions that affect people and businesses that certainly do not file the science. this is such a blatant example with l.a. county shutting down outdoor dining. of the cases they can trace as you mentioned only 3% were traced back to restaurants. they did not specify indoor versus outdoor dining. we don't transmit less outdoors. the other thing that public health director could cite was

some cdc study that said people who get covid are twice as likely to go out to eat in restaurants. it doesn't actually say they're getting their virus from the restaurant. it is a complete misrepresentation. people are losing confidence and faith in these policymakers. that is why you're seeing such covid fatigue right now. kennedy: even l.a. county commissioner was saying people are going to lose faith and all of our institutions and we are not following the science. l.a. county said, they have admitted there is no scientific basis for these vast decisions, which affects so many restaurants and so many businesses. and restaurants are so willing to comply with anything as long as they can stay open. even if they are at quarter or half capacity. are absolutely right. people lose faith and they think people in charge are lying to them, that is when they're going to make the kind

of decisions that put other people at risk. so l.a. county locked it down for the gotta lock it up in terms of misinformation. >> absolutely. that is the problem misinformation is under the guise of following the science. people are not following the science page about your last segment about immunity passport. the recent immunity passports right now are not a good idea, all the things you guys discussed aside. we actually do not know what immunity means. we did not know about in march and april which is white new york city got in trouble for giving immunity certificates. what we do not of the presence of antibodies whether the infection or vaccine means. if you get reinfected probably not. can you still transmit the illness to someone else? that is still a big maybe. need to file the science for the signs we know is true, there are things you can do to lessen the spread of illness. one is being outdoors but outdoor dining as opposed indoor port you look at restaurants across the nation

the people reducing the positive cases they are largely from the staff and not from the patrons. so they need to make more measures to keep the staff safe. kennedy: the need to stop hiring dirty staff like dr. nicole saphier thank you for your time always good talking to you. coming up, 2020s but a tough year for most americans. but you know what? i still love you. that is something to be thankful for. i will explain why in my memo, that is next. wow! what'd you get, ryan? it's customized home insurance from liberty mutual! what does it do bud? it customizes our home insurance so we only pay for what we need! and what did you get, mike? i got a bike. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

not be caught dead on facebook. kennedy: or twitter. >> there's always something new and cool. i am deeply, deeply grateful for the people who built these tool tools. and then made them better will be really needed them. and made them available, mostly for free. kennedy: that the great points. our lives have been reform, rochelle, think the only person who might not be happy about zoom is jeffrey toobin. aside from that, being able to get what you want when you went, has held our society together. because people who are out there protesting and rioting, they realize they don't want to tear the whole thing apart. because they love conveniences. >> yeah, i think i would have to say this is been a tough year for me. this is a tough topic candid mena my dad passed away from coronavirus in september. kennedy: i know i'm so sorry about that. god bless you richelle you really soldier on through an

incredible difficulty. you've truly honored your dad's memory. so having said that, how do you, through the prism of grief find stuff to be thankful for? >> you know what i'm thankful for family and friends. i'm thankful for their support. i am thankful for their love. family is so important. all i can think about her all the people did not have someone there with them when they passed away. i'm really thankful and grateful for the close connection that i have to my family and friends to get through these difficult times. kennedy: well said, the fat mike baker. when you thankful for? >> kennedy i'm a simple guy. i'm always thankful, regardless of what time of year it is for the greatest person is my family, my fantastic daughters were living and working in washington d.c. and realizing how dysfunctional that can become my three boys, and for

gin martinis for that spring much it. so far i like my gin with little dubin i on top shaken strained on ice. with an orange slice. that is cranberry sauce. i posted a poll on my twitter accounts. asking today what is the best cranberry sauce? 49.4% of you, shocking number said canned connie sauce. 50.6% said fresh delicious homemade cranberry sauce. it may look a little different this year ranking the top dishes to holiday americans favorite classics. including turkeys, mashed potatoes stuffing or dressing depending we are, bread or rolls and ham. even though it's a salty ham.

coming last, no surprise, tofu.

[laughter] see for a project the artistry. richelle you are saying, >> i was going to say i've done the cranbury sauce homemade. i made mine yesterday.

i love it, i love it. i don't really like it. but my grandfather likes it and he puts it on his dressing. so there you go. kennedy: put it on there with everything paired i slather it, i slurp it, shove my face in it, baker word you stand my friend? >> look, if you are not getting that satisfying sound that comes from that cranbury sauce plopping out of the can, and the ridges there, if that is not part of your thanksgiving tradition, i don't know what it's all about. but frankly what do i know? you set my dinner with a martini shaker a whole become pie that's all i need. [laughter] kennedy: that is one of the things i miss. maybe the thing i miss most about my mom's thanksgiving table. because we're not going to oregon because the commies there. as her pecan pie. sometimes she makes a chocolate pecan pie. just thinking about it, it is so good. you put some bourbon in that chocolates pecan pie.

before i got a lot of suggested lesson on twitter. that things will add to their homemade cranberry sauce, pecans, some guy said strawberry, lotta people said bourbon. i would say 60% of respondents said they put bourbon in their cranberry sauce. by the way, bourbon also belongs in pumpkin pie. >> bourbon belongs in a lot of things. kennedy: that is absolutely right. that might be the pinscher that keeps us together. so you are all thankful, you are all going to be full. baker, what is the one food you can do without it thanksgiving? >> i don't have to think about this for the one thing that should be abolishing this holiday and if that ever since i was a baby was that crab, that bishop at the gamson and then you poor that god awful marshmallow on top. that ought. who put sweet potatoes and marshmallows together and expect people to spoon it up? kennedy: observing that

tomorrow night. we'll see people eat it. katherine go ahead. i am scandalized, that is the best part of thanksgiving. [laughter] cranbury sauce mccann for a think i'm the only real american on this panel. i'm glad we can all agree that bourbon should be in everything and everyone. kennedy: hear! hear!. thanks to richelle for that suggestion. and thanks to mike, katherine, and rochelle for make this incredible party panel, you guys are amazing. >> happy thanksgiving. before you two. coming up, i'm going to talk to a venue owner who has a first in the nation plan to get people back in front of the stage singing wide music. he will explain, next.

♪ ♪. kennedy: give not found a way to get a covid tested new york city, while you're just not hungry enough. while the restaurant industry has been burned by lockdowns, one upscale eatery/music venue has created its own stimulus plan requiring all of its diners to take a rapid coronavirus test at the door for 50 bucks a customer. if you pass the test you can move on to your entrée. if you fail, you get sent home like a dog without a doggy bag. was this the future of eating and entertaining? here's the story, city winery founder and ceo michael dorf. hey michael how are you. good how are you kennedy? kennedy: i'm doing good pretoria customers going to do this? are they going to pay an extra $50 if they feel safe with everyone around them and they can by least have some live music? >> we did the pilot for the first time last night and tonight and was sold out both to 25% capacity or dining.

but unfortunately the state is not allowing for any live music whatsoever. so while we can have indoor dining until they hopefully don't shut us down on the dining in new york. but they are not allowing live music. if we sell a ticket or if we marketed. you're only allowed to do incidental music. too that is somebody just showing up in performing on stage. seafort wow that's so weird what a coincidence guys? do you want to play? give your instruments and you did a sound check breed that is so weird. as a state marketing ploy or do you want other restaurants to follow your lead here? >> we have a six month gap it looks like. all of this good news about the vaccine for may, june, july to really help back open the economy. it is going to be a cold winter.

with outdoor dining really close, all of the restaurants, hospitality spaces have very little chance to make any money without people coming and enjoying indoor food. and right now, people are very reluctant. the second wave has pushed people further away from restaurants. so we thought, why can't we raise the bar, increase the protocols. and see if people would be willing to increase their safety, both the science and the psychology by doing a rapid test at the door. kennedy: so you give people a glass of bubbles while they wait for the test, ten to 15 minutes. when you get the test from? without a medical service called acura exit. they use antigen rapid test. they bring in certified practitioners who do the shallow nasal swab or it's not the one that goes way up the no's.
