the board is fed up with income alone. many of us want to say goodbye to 2021, even new york city which was everything fauci says as gospel announcing the ball drop in times square will go ahead albeit downsized. getting to the party could also be harder and more annoying if lord fauci had his way. masks on planes could be here forever mustang the white house isn't even discussing a change to that rule but they are discussing whether to enact a vaccine mandate for air travel. >> if you're talking about requiring vaccination to get on a plane domestically, as just another one of their requirements that i think is reasonable to consider when you make vaccination a requirement, it's another incentive to get more people vaccinated. if you want to do that with domestic flights, is something seriously should be considered. >> and you thought flights on planes, the fight that is were back now. so how much did fauci get the

power? how can we get back in the hands of the people? let's get into it with tonight panel, washington times opinion editor and fox news interpreter, charlie hurt. hill media colonist and fox news conservator, joe concha. medications founder and democratic strategist, laura think. let's start with charlie, i want to know, does anyone listen to fauci anymore? >> i think clearly people do and he likes it very much because of course it gives him all sorts of power and publicity which apparently he really, really likes. he's not a terribly good baseball player but sure likes to throw out a pitch from the pitchers mound. i think -- your opening right there i think is very important message, we put so much effort,

so many people put so much effort into the same for fauci and not liking fauci but the problem is, he does not have the power unless politicians reelected give him this power and people need to start redirecting away from tony fauci force the politicians allowing him to have this power and listening to his statements, there is no question why nobody likes tony fauci. >> i think shame on republicans for not standing up to him, let's go to laura. charlie is right, people still listen to doctor fauci, none of my friends do but i imagine you know a lot of people who still put their trust in fauci and some probably want to go further. >> i think america loves doctor fauci and if you hate him, you are in the minority. he's just talking about size, keeping masks on, we saw ceo of southwest airlines, insight

masks don't matter on planes. next day, he got covid and walked all of it back. it's smart, it's a sign from nobody wants to end their new year's eve plans are set covid is fun but he's not going to deliver a lie or tell you things you want to hear or shine you on and that's why he has integrity in the vast majority of americans trust doctor fauci when they don't necessarily trust politicians who play one side or the other. i might say republicans, with covid, one way and then the other. >> joe, there is to americus on this thing but it's not science, it is politics. fauci has been saying two things since the beginning, he said no mask and then masks. two weeks to slope the curve and it wasn't about the curse because it was about slowing the

curve then people would be out there living their lives right now and they are still not. what's wrong? >> i'm still recovering from laura calling him the felch -- i'm going to use that from now on. it's mixed messaging that drive people crazy, i'm not going to make this rhetoric but pragmatic normal common sense americus hear the messages coming out of the white house. on one hand you have new cdc guidance, they say on the quarantine for five days instead of ten but then you have the president saying before christmas, it's okay to get together with your family if you're fully vaccinated and have the booster but then doctor fauci says don't go anywhere new year's eve, stay home and he says on cnn currently running an ad hyping new year's eve show for times square, here is the act. the crowds are back and so are we. okay? it's quite the foot from the news network. what they call out cnn to cancel

the show that night? i think the doctor has never met a microphone he doesn't like, perhaps he should do less interviews and do his job more which he has not been doing well as we see from lack of testing and you see lines, christmas eve where people can't get tess and doctor fauci said we fell short on this because maybe you are on tv too much and not doing your job enough, you've had a year to do this and have failed. >> so true and i hope we get pushback and i hope people celebrate their new year in the way they want to. a new report from vanity fair claims the biden administration rejected reduce holiday testing in october, we could have had the testing solved months ago but we have lines around the block instead. the president today denied the report. >> why did your administration reject the holiday testing surge in october? does the buck stop with you there? >> we didn't rejected.

>> if he didn't rejected a plan to boost testing and why are people waiting hours for one? let's start with laura. >> let's start with -- go ahead. >> i'm sorry, there's a bit of a delay here so go ahead. how did we get into this mess? >> let's talk about what he has been doing going on tv confronting a tsunami of disinformation and getting 71% of americans with a shot in the arm. which is going to help us long-term, and the pandemic at he went out there and sold it. now we have testing supplies. there's suspicious meetings, we have half a billion tests coming our way because president biden unlike the previous president invoked the defense production

act to get going, we may have a crunch now but we are going to have tests and they are rolling out. i have to say, good for him for being accountable, isn't it nice to have a president who actually admits when things aren't perfect, actually talks about reality as americans are experiencing it? i know this panel is not full of biden fans but you've got to respect that level of his game. >> i do respect and he certainly hasn't a lot of opportunities to admit when he's wrong so as far as the testing goes, i agree with their first decision when they said we are going to slope down testing because i think we test too much. what is your view? >> let's not forget the reason we have the vaccine and got the vaccines when we did is because as you said, the previous occupant of the white house and also, i don't know how he's being accountable when he just lied right there about failing

to get the tests out, that's not accountability but. >> when did he lie? he didn't lie. >> when he admitted finally the entire purpose of his campaign which he claimed was put an end to covid, he has no ability to do that when he told governors earlier today a responsibility of state governors, they are the ones who have to do this but when you back up and realize the entire campaign he ran to get into office was based on this lie but the whole pandemic was donald trump's fault and he was going to do something about it, he hasn't and this is another thing that's great, another thing he said today is a reminder he's been in charge from the beginning and we've tried everything he's said to do and we are over two years into this and we still have the pandemic, that's known as

failure, not success. >> i guess you would be better at taking on a global pandemic. [laughter] >> joe, tell me this. right now, we have the administration admitting they can't do it. he said to the governor, there's no national solution to this but it's not as if he's changing his policy, he says no national solution and he keeps giving us national solutions that don't work. >> that's not what he said, as far as is two words, he blamed donald trump for lack of testing and called a travesty and it didn't fix the problem, let look at spain europe is a couple weeks ahead of us as far as

omicron is concerned and i bring this up because they have strict mask mandate, faxing passports, 80% of the population is fully vaccinated among the highest in the world but cases are skyrocketing better so what do they decide to do? implement outdoor mask mandate for those as young as six years old definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different result yet we are doing that. doctor fauci and the president need to talk more about their pukes, particularly pfizer and merck pills. we need to be able to treat it at the source better to keep people out of hospitals dying because vaccines as we are seeing while they keep you out of the hospital, we are seeing breakthrough cases so got to be a two-pronged approach but all i'm hearing our vaccines and mass not enough about the therapeutics that can be the game changer. >> that's great and we are going to talk more about therapeutics in the next block. hannah, stick around, will have

more from you later. pfizer's new covid pill count that as a game changer to fight against the pandemic that there could be serious risk with taking it. doctor jeanette is here to break that down next. ♪♪

hear ye hear you, signs changed again. breaking tonight, cdc advising people who got infected with covid-19 to isolate five days after a positive test set of ten. citing the fact that most of the spread occurs in the early days of infection for the latest updates on cdc guidance, change tune into sesame street every morning 9:00 a.m. but upload to pfizer on early treatment front, doctors warning the new covid pill paxlovid have harmful comorbidities like heart conditions or diabetes. is this a danger to the people who need it most? proctors interpreter doctor jeanette niche walk. tommy about paxlovid, we got new concerns about the drug, what

you know about it? >> i think it is a miracle drug and going to save a lot of lives because it can reduce your risk of hospitalization or death by almost 90%, that's incredible but it's a two and one antiviral medication and if you take it ideally within 72 hours of your symptoms getting or 72 hours of diagnosis, he will have the best outcome. you can take as long as five days after diagnosed but best to take it within three days. what it does is help stop the virus from replicating quantifiers cap but replicate and like any other medicine, you could have potential interactions with other medicine. it's not new to doctors, we know how to manage medication to make sure what we prescribe will interact with what you are taking, sometimes it a matter of adjusting dosages, if you're on antibiotics and we adjust to her

level of a blood thinner or antidepressant, we have to adjust antibiotics it's not new, it's post observation and monitoring and sometimes we have to look at the risk versus benefit but overall, it's still a great medication that i think will help and the pandemic and reduce transmission of the virus. >> i'm off for therapeutics and not encouraging. there have been other antivirals out there, we're not allowed to talk about them, if you do, they take you off twitter and facebook. am i crazy thinking maybe there is a vested interest not being able to talk about cheap antivirals because they wanted to come out with profitable antivirals? >> gosh, i hope that's not true but i know you're probably thinking about hydroxychloroquine and i remapped in and "the issue is", we don't have solid data to show it works. early in the beginning of the pandemic when governor rama allowed us in fda gave us

emergency use authorization, i prescribed hydroxychloroquine in the beginning to some of my patients, didn't see significant improvement in their symptoms so we use it in emergency use situations but if we don't have solid concrete data to show it works, let's move on to something that we know it does work instead of wasting our times with things we've already tried and that makes me remember about the together trial where they take existing medications like an asthma inhaler and it's used for asthma but it might have some benefit tweeting covid patients so we need to do test and trials. if it works, great, continue to use it. if it doesn't, we move on. >> talk about interventions, nonpharmaceutical interventions. i happen to think none of them worked, which was the worst, what the shutdowns, lockdowns, shelter in place or other

behavioral things they did? what is the worst one in your opinion? >> in my opinion, i think the lockdown was one of the worst things we could have done in the history of our nation. the word lockdown should be removed from our capability vocabulary. the damage it's done to our nation and children is incredible. we know it's impractical and clearly ineffective because it didn't work, still mass amount of cases. i think the best thing to do right now, the most effective therapeutic and treatment i'm seen is the vaccine, taking zinc and vitamin d and if you are in a high-risk situation and have underlying medical conditions, wear your mask indoors until we get through the current spike we are seeing especially in new york city. >> thank you.

coming up, white house chief of staff ron crane want you to know 2021 wasn't all that bad. covid in afghanistan and inflation, the supply chain crisis, there's got to be something else in here. we will circle back on that after the break. ♪♪

it's nice to hear the white house adequate year on whatever planet they are living on. white house chief of staff ron claimed yesterday shared an article from the help title let's be honest, 2021 wasn't all that setting a drop in on a plummet, afghanistan withdrawal, a scandal free biden administration if the surge of migrants at the poor rise and covetous, inflation, economic crisis, it doesn't sound like it to me. the president freefalling poll numbers. if this year wasn't all bad, is

next you're going to be worse or better? the panel is back to discuss. charlie hurt from laura fink. joe concha. how much can you say, when you say it not all that bad, you could -- if you don't know which were to emphasize, how bad was it? >> probably 80s trivia guy like me and particularly movies, when i saw the tweet from the white house chief of staff, i couldn't help but think in the movie back to school, his son was saying that, i don't feel well here, i got all season brought me says a, b, c, top three. that's what we are doing here, mediocrity, it's not that bad. ron klain, i think it was more the 70s but and will house, flounder. he reminds me of him from a physical perspective but he's currently tweeting how wonderful things are, he wants tweeted inflation is a rich person's

problem. it's been a horrific year for president biden looking at wins and losses on major issues. inflation, biden pulls in the 30s and handling the economy on crime and 30s and falling. on the border, 20s. foreign policy afghanistan also in the 20s. and flounder isn't going to change that in any way so here we are, 2022 will be worse at least for democrats because they will lose power in the house probably in the senate and then president biden many in his own party don't want him to run in 2024, it's going to get ugly in terms of that civil war over there. >> laura, you speak democrat and ron klain said he pulled out at least trump isn't in the white house. you can't say that, our guy is good because he's not the last guy, can you? >> i think that every campaign since the dawn of time so i think you can but here's the

deal with him, it's nice to have chief of staff that gets in trouble for a retweet instead of planning and insurrection like our last white house so we will start their and i'll stay this, schools are open, unemployment is down, wages are up and tom, you got your bass pro shop hat for christmas and joe, i think you got your playstation five because supply chains are unclogged so simply say pointing out good things and improvement 2021 isn't a bad thing. if you want to be a gloom cookie, there's plenty of room but i think they've acknowledged the challenges and i don't think it's bad to show the things that have gone right. >> i did get the bass pro's shop hat but i wanted this singing that and they don't make it anymore. [laughter] charlie, we got a bad year but you can't fault the guy for putting a spin on it, right? that's what he does, he spends. >> of course.

when you said that, you sounded like more beautiful impersonation of joe biden himself, i could hear him saying it actually. of course you are going to spin it but the idea spin it by saying, it wasn't all that bad. yeah, it really was. it was the worst first year of presidency and at least 100 years, maybe since like the invention of electricity. maybe since the beginning of the republic. it's been the worst first year of presidency certainly that i can think of right now and i don't think there's not much debate about. go back again to the two reasons joe biden, the two reasons for joe biden's campaign in the first place. one was because donald trump was racist in charlottesville and the second thing was covid. most people realized the first

one was total bs, a lie, just something joe biden wants to politicize because you'll politicize everything in the second thing is, covid and by his own definition he admits today he can't fix covid, covid is still going to be covid and still do what covid does and he hasn't been able so that's two things, lies he based his campaign on and probably explain why his first year has been a disaster. >> and he's underwater because of that. christmas prank started with this clip of a father calling in to santa tracking station and fluent president biden into saying anti- biden parade phrase let's go brandon. >> have a wonderful christmas and let's go brandon. >> let's go brandon, i agree.

>> but even though the president agreed, left-wing media did not. cnn desk said and insurrectionist. the accused him of using a right wing slur and it's been docked by his family, threatened by angry brandon photos so why does the joke make democrats so angry? don't they know it will make us keep using it? charlie, i think you are laughing at the joke, is a good joke. >> it's marvelous and what's nice, it's a nicer version of what people that would like to say to joe biden it's a sign of class but the other thing that's funny about watching the first lady and president sitting on the sofa and joe biden says that, it's not clear he has any idea what he's saying or what the guy said, is he just repeating it? but the first lady knows and she grits her teeth and rolls her eyes, it is a funny moment right there. >> laura, i remember during the

trump presidency, every other day was a celebrity or politician using profanity to describe the president. f trump was everywhere and now we have a nice phrase, we are not using profanity, it's a fun way to say i don't like the president, what's wrong with it? >> i don't know, what's wrong with being a dad and calling into the santa hotline and cussing out the president? that seems like all class. here is one thing i will say, the dad's name is jared from oregon and i will say this, be careful, your son is about to become 18 in a few years and as soon as you ask him to do the dishes are clean his room or do his homework, it's going to be less go jared so be careful what you wish for, karma comes back to haunt you. >> i don't think they will be back, joe. let's go tom, i wouldn't mind that, as a safeway to say it. >> it's f you, you think that's

cool? on a santa hotline? come on. you are rationalizing going knee-deep on this one. that's what it means. >> that's what it means but it's not. >> i know and we are not -- that is what it means. it is a burn to joe biden. >> what does it mean to you? >> i can't say the words on the station. >> what does it mean to me? exactly what charlie said, a way of saying it without actually saying it. bobby dinero screamed f trump on national tv, they have shakespeare in the park where they were redoing it, trump is caesar and he's stabbed to death and it's like okay, that's a little overt. maxine waters told people to get up in the face of trump supporters so for anyone on the

left to apply back and outraged by brandon? you will need a chiropractor from being twisted around trying to justify. >> children's center programming? really? >> listen, i stayed up late christmas eve, i met with sandra and talked with santa and he has a potty mouth, i'll tell you that. the most popular website on the planet. the new king is tik tok. according to cloud flare, the sharing site is number one followed by google and facebook. last year tik tok was number seven which makes the jump to number one surprising to me as well making things more confusing, everyone knows what google does but ask anyone over 40 what tik tok does might not know so does this mean boomers are dead and jen's he is in charge? laura, were you surprised?

>> i was surprised and i think larry page will have to start making to talk dancing and pajamas to justin bieber and maybe they can take back the number one spot. apparently gen z doesn't like googling but i do like tik tok. >> now joke a lot tik tok to me is just people dancing but i guess people are doing all sorts of stuff because you have people doing political commentary, they do it in tik tok videos and take off so they make a name that way. do you have a tik tok yourself? >> no, i still have an account on front start. i talked to my friends on myspace. i and generation x clearly because my kids are six and eight and they know what tik tok is but i'm still the geezer who shares pictures of kids and videos on facebook so it seems to be a changing of the guard and it's an age thing. >> almost all the sites in the

top ten are based in the u.s. tik tok is not, what does that tell you? >> china is rising. i didn't think it was possible was a website out there that could make us dumber than google made us but along came tik tok and it's from china and it's kind of interesting, i was talking to the kids and if you go on tik tok, a lot of the stuff that's scrubbed off twitter and instagram and american websites, the political stuff, it's not scrubbed from tik tok. there is a lot of nationally nasty anti- biden stuff on tik tok you wouldn't find anywhere else. you can't help but wonder if it doesn't have something to do with popularity, people can get away with apparently a lot more stuff on tik tok then some of the other better-known american

websites. >> a lot of conservatives are giving up on google, facebook and twitter, starting their own, i've seen other video sites and parler and things like that, why is it that none of them have caught on in the mainstream? >> i think what they want with this panel, we have laura sharing a perspective and charlie another tom and joe we are somewhere else, i think people go to twitter for example for the disagreement and only other side for whatever reason so when you have a safe space where everybody agrees with each other, what fun is that? there's too much conformity and not enough diversity of opinion or food fights quite frankly. >> loved big tech. >> democrat do love big tech because google, facebook and

twitter are kinder to democrats but what happens when the tables turned and other companies are not being so nice to democrats? are you going to be big protech then? >> i don't think democrats are pro big tech, they talk about senator warren, big tech is a monopoly and big tech eyeballs, inflammatory speech so all of that is happening in the algorithms are biased and we know that. regulation can be helpful and breaking up of big tech is something we need to look at so i disagree somehow democrats are in the packet of big tech. big tech bias -- [laughter] seriously. okay, that's cute but i'm sorry, look at any study or bias, i'm speaking signs but apparently size is funny on the shelves so

go ahead but seriously, this is inflammatory speech and you can go where the white supremacist hang out, that's why they are not going mainstream. >> all right, thanks panel. great job. coming up, 2021 has been a year for police. violence against them is way up and tomorrow is a day and. how everything turned things around? ted william has some ideas and he'll join me next. ♪♪

2021 has been especially dangerous your to be a police officer researchers say death set a record and while many are covid related, violet depths in the line of duty our top 50%. as the end of november, 314

officers were shot on duty and 58 were murdered. ambush style attacks up 116%. who's to blame for this? between the danger and anti- police sentiment we've seen, how can department keep up morale and continue to hire? joining me now, former d.c. police detective and fox news printer better, ted williams. tell me where you think morale is now and how is it affecting police officers daily worklife? >> i can tell you morale is at an all-time low in police departments throughout the country. when you look at what brings police to the level they no longer want to serve in these communities is because of an incident like i'm about to tell

you. i want to offer condolences to the family of officer kiana holly. officer hawley was a baltimore police officer sitting in her car serving and protecting the members of her community when a lowlife, some fog, bottom feeders, two of them shot and killed her, these were individuals out on bail. a very sad situation. >> these kinds of things happen, ambush style killings, just according to my take on this, always feel like they have been after big incidents. it happens after protests, after george floyd but how do we get

out of this? keep thinking it's police behavior, if the training gets better, it will get better. technology if we have body cams, none of the things police do will get us out of this, i believe it's a cultural change, outside of the police department, how do we make that happen? >> you are correct, it's the cultural change. we have politicians who want police officers to protect them but refused to protect police officers. we have individuals calling for defunding police department and the individuals put police officers lives out there in danger. i can tell you some of it is being reversed and major metropolitan cities about defunding of police but that something that's been on the table and it's been troublesome, law enforcement officers who have gone out there and put

their lives on the line for the citizens. >> you think the show plot in order, crops working with the prosecutors and the relationship between the two of us, how much of this is police and prosecutors, left-wing prosecutors doing social justice work and it seems like they are making police jobs harder. >> not only are they making it harder but we seem to favor criminals in this country over law enforcement officers. we've got some in police department and you weed them out but the mass majority of men and women in police department are there to serve and protect. what they found our prosecutors and judges who will not work with them to put these people behind bars and keep them behind bars. what we found is before the ink
