thank you so much for joining us this evening. you can catch me on "america's newsroom" each and every weekday morning bright and early 9:00 a.m. to noon on the fox news channel. until then, i'm sandra smith and here comes "the five." ♪ >> hello, everybody. i'm dagen mcdowell along with jason chaffetz, jessica tarlov, lawrence jones, and lisa boothe. it's 5:00 in new york city. this is "the five." ♪ president trump firing back at joe biden over this criticism of the vaccine rollout. >> the trump administration's plan is falling behind. as i long feared and worn, the effort to distribute and administer the vaccine is not progressing as it should. with only few days left in december liberally vaccinated a

few million so far. >> dagen: trump responding on twitter. "the federal government has to should riveted vaccines to the states. now it's up to the states to administer. get moving." while biden is quick to point a finger at the president, he's turning a blind eye to the virus mismanagement in blue states. despite strict lockdowns, california seen the highest number of new daily covid-19 cases per capita in the country. remember how the state crushed the restaurant industry by banning outdoor dining? now it is kindly asking hollywood to consider stopping down productions as cases continue to soar. in new york, governor andy cuomo under fire once again this time forgiving drug addicts and rehab facilities vaccine priority over thousands of elderly residents still stuck in their homes. lawrence, to you first on this. joe biden is clearly trying to set it up so he can't take

credit for the vaccine, which he had absolutely nothing to do with. zilch, zip. nothing. >> lawrence: he also criticized the speed of getting it done. his running mate, kamala harris said she wasn't even going to the vaccine parent she didn't trust the process. now we know she took the vacci vaccine. i think what is rich of democrats to criticize our process that would have never gotten done if there was another administration. republican or democrat. a lot of them are politicians. they believe in this federalized system where the federal government should do every single thing. it's because of the trump administration that a business man was able to take what he would do in his own business, get the red tape out of the way to make it happen, and i think that's the disagreement and philosophy. the bottom line is that government rarely does things that are good. you can look at nashville or people reported that this guy had a bomb and they did

absolutely nothing about it. not because they had malicious intent but because bureaucracy gets in place and things get pushed aside. that's what happened right here where donald trump is giving it to the states and letting them do what they do. remember real quick this was the philosophy all along during the pandemic. he was able to do things that states weren't able to do. they asked, what do you need? the federal government provided and it was up to the states to take care of their people. that's how a country should run. it shouldn't be the federal government doing everything. they get it wrong. >> dagen: it's in everyone best interest, particularly the president-elect, even now, to make sure that these vaccines are safe, effective. as i have said, popular which is not what they were talking about in september and october. it was anti-vax fearmongering from biden and harris. >> jessica: there's a large

contingent of americans including many trump supporter so they weren't comfortable with the vaccine and that they wouldn't be taking it. it wasn't a liberal conspiracy. a lot of republicans felt the process move too quickly or they just fundamentally or not people who get vaccinated. something on a qanon site said it was full of microchips and i believe that conspiracy theory is still circulating. i would love it if you would humor me in an end-of-the-year thought experiment. president obama is still president, let say. he has overseen operation warp speed, the vaccine is out when he said it would be at the end of the year. only 2 million of the 20 million vaccinations he promised would be administered at this current point and he's hitting the links in hawaii because he needs a well earned vacation. what are you all going to say about that? the president of the united states of america, instead of being in d.c. making sure he's on the phone all day with the governors of blue states and red states to make sure that everybody gets

vaccinated, elderly first. frontline workers. it he's on the golf course rage tweeting. >> dagen: lisa, i'm going to toss it to you. i never criticize any president for going on vacation, number one. at last count, we know that it's more than 2 million vaccinations happening, inoculations. he 11.5 million doses roughly have been distributed to the states. what say you? >> lisa: and there's billions of dollars for vaccine distribution that was so necessary and needed and the covid relief bill that nancy pelosi held up because she didn't want to get it done previously to try to get the knock against president trump and deprive him a victory heading into the election. we wouldn't be where we are right now without the trump administration, as lawrence put it. because president trump was an outsider and a businessman, he forged those public private partnerships like we haven't seen before with operation warp speed and getting ventilators to states that needed them, getting ppe to

hospitals that needed them. cutting red tape to be a bring therapeutics to the public as well as the vaccine in record speed. picking the wrong heroes and we have seen it throughout the pandemic. they hold up people at governor cuomo as an example of leadership. he has done everything wrong. he's not prioritizing. he is now prioritizing addicts before seniors for the vaccine purposes. this is someone who mandated nursing homes to take in covid patients come to take in the sick. you can track it with what's going on here in florida and the leadership of ron desantis who has said i am going to wait to get a vaccine because the elderly, the seniors, most vulnerable need it first and also he mandated that hospitals could not send covid patients to nursing homes because it's common sense that the elderly get sick more easily and that they would be more likely to die if they contract the coronavirus, yet ron desantis has been criticized by the media and the left.

they have gotten it all wrong for so long. >> dagen: speaking of governor desantis, here is something he had to say. >> i am not the priority. they are the priority. i am under 45. people under 45 i'm not going to be first in line for this. when it's my turn, i will take it. but this is who i want to be vaccinated. i want my parents, our grandparents to be able to get it. granted, i'm an elected official. but at the end of the day, let's focus. >> dagen: jason. >> jason: good for him. governor desantis has it spot on. did joe biden actually listen to what he actually said? we have only inoculated millions of people? i mean, there was nobody on the democratic side of the aisle that gave donald trump any hope of ever getting this done. operation warp speed was a huge success. you don't have just one company. you have multiple companies.

that information about 11.5 million doses that have been distributed to states is a few days old. i still think they're going to be darn close. donald trump is a business person. he knows to do this. he you know you've got to shoot higher than where you're going to be to push people to move as fast as they can possibly do it. hats off to the men and women on the front line actually taking care of people. i am tired of the joe biden or less of the world chastising. they are never satisfied. they are always complaining. why not give behind her and encourage and show leadership like donald trump has done and actually making things happen. what joe biden said today was absolutely fundamentally totally wrong and i think he's misleading. to say it's going to take years to achieve what we know is going to happen if they just followed donald trump's plan in short order. >> dagen: fomenting fear about the vaccine for political gain during the campaign, biden and harris did. oh, i don't know.

i don't trust donald trump with the vaccine. now it's a complete reverse. they have both gotten it. this vaccine developed at the hands of companies vilified by the left, these vaccines are an unqualified success. the first person who got that vaccine by my count got it for years early under any other administered ration. one week to go for the crucial runoffs in georgia. president trump and joe biden on a collision course in the peach state. these days, it's okay to do some things halfway... but taking prescriptions shouldn't be one of them. so cvs has a proprietary search tool

runoff in georgia. president trump and joe biden set to collide with dueling rallies on monday. the states couldn't be higher. taking over those races is the threat of socialism and the debate over bigger stimulus checks. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell signaling today he won't hold a vote on the stand-alone bill for big or too thousand dollar payments. in the meantime, the candidates in georgia are mixing it up. >> we are the last line of defense against this radical socialist agenda that they are trying to perpetrate on america. >> purdue, lining his own pockets by medical and vaccine stocks to profit from the spend of it. as you pointed out in those clips. he has opposed direct relief this entire time. >> lawrence: jason, i'm going to go to you first. we are in the middle of a national race, although it's a local race, itself a national election right now because of the steaks and because of the

control of the senate. i know mitch mcconnell is a master negotiator and all of that but why would he play games in the middle of this race? shouldn't he just go for an up-and-down vote on the 2k for the american people? >> jason: i don't think he has the votes in order to do it. they prey upon, particularly democrats pray upon the ignorance of people in the senate process. bernie sanders objected to speeding up the process to talk about overwriting the national defense authorization act. when he did so, he triggered a five day process. the senate deals with one bill on the floor at a time. if you do the math, you get to sunday, the beginning of the 117th congress. the president has always pushed to deal with section 230. he's also wanting to look into the integrity of the elections. as mitch mcconnell said today, we should be able to talk about those two things as well as --

>> lawrence: we don't have time for that. >> jason: they know they don't have time. >> lawrence: the election is tuesday may know democrats are going to use this against them. lisa, i have to ask, is this bad strategy on the republican part? >> lisa: democratic candidates can't use it against loeffler and senator perdue because they've come out in support of the $2,000 payments and they also supported the most recent covid bill which again democrats held up for months for political purposes. this is not going to impact them. however i do have concerns about the race. democrats write no lead in absentee voting and early voting at a slightly greater degree than they did before the general election and you don't have president trump there to generate turnout on election day which is so critical for republicans to try to win. i think is very important that he is going down to georgia again to try to get republicans excited about this race because it does matter.

when you look at jon ossoff come he's a trust fund socialist. you look at raphael warnock, he's a marxist who is now been at the center of this camp where there's been multiple child abuse accusations that he oversaw as a senior pastor. there are real issues there and we are also looking of incoming president that's not a moderate. he abandoned moderate beliefs during the election. he has surrounded himself with radicals like kamala harris and aoc in bernie sanders. there's a lot on the line in georgia. republicans need to wake up and get excited. this race is critical and so for republicans to have a check on a democratic trifecta. >> lawrence: the republicans what they need to do to secure the victory but where is warnock? he is m.i.a. do democrats have a problem? >> jessica: i don't think that he's m.i.a. the amount of advertising that i'm seeing. in terms of his schedule?

i imagine he has a pretty strenuous get out the vote scheduled for the following days and i don't think he's hiding from anything. he's taken some really tough questioning head-on, explaining comments he's made as a preacher in his previous life. i don't really seem is hiding. obviously jon ossoff hasn't been hiding. david perdue won't even show up to debate him. >> lawrence: we have a beach reporter and they haven't been able to find him. the press pool has been trying to ask him questions about the scandal that's brewing and he's m.i.a. >> jessica: okay, well, i hope that he will take questions. i don't work for the warnock campaign. whatever he's doing happens to be working. trafalgar, republican leaning pollster, pretty accurate in the november 3rd election and a favorite of president trump's until he lost. warnock and ossoff taking the lead in the margin of error. they are seeing things shift in their direction and i agree with you that it does hurt purdue and

loeffler. the $2,000 checks. they had been against stimulus checks and they got on board because they knew they had to win an election and donald trump single-handedly torpedoed it by blowing up the bill and then pushing it further back. 10 took 14 million people didn't get their unemployment benefits this week. >> lisa: back in july when nancy pelosi wouldn't take it up. >> jessica: what about may? i think july is after may so let's go back to the hero's active talk about the $1.8 trillion bill senator mitch mcconnell wouldn't take up here we can go back-and-forth. >> lisa: things that are not relevant to the covid crisis. >> lawrence: what are your thoughts on this, dagen? it's going to be at the center of the race. the senators have committed to support it. if the republicans don't pass it, it's going to be used against those two republicans.

it's about checking the biden administration. the republican party at large. >> dagen: i'd like to remind people there are $600 checks that started going out into people's bank accounts last night. they are going out in the mail today. number two, the democrats, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, have forfeited every opportunity to comment on people's financial well-being and livelihoods. because they intentionally held up aid to, held up rescue money for weeks if not months ahead of the election for their own political gain. they were standing atop the suffering of people in this country because they thought it would hurt trope and help them, and it didn't work. for all of schumer's caterwauling, he for months held up a vote, excuse me, even a debate on a half a trillion dollar package, two of them.

debate in the senate. please take a seat on that. although georgia voters who were all smart need to hear over and over again is chuck schumer saying first we take georgia, and then we change a miracle. really? change america how? >> lawrence: as you know, the georgia voters are afraid of the socialism. i was on the ground with them. they think that the democratic party is going the wrong direction. we will have to see what happens. i will be on the ground for the fox news channel. violent crime surging and liberal cities but joe biden has other priorities, including a plant to police the police. coming up on "the five."

>> lisa: democrats called to defund the police backfiring and liberal cities across the country. many places seeing a surge in violent crimes like in new york city where murders are up over 40%. philadelphia is reportedly on track to break a record for homicides as well. atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms coming under fire for her inability to address a crime rate. she is asking citizens for suggestions on how to stop it. joe biden reportedly has a plan to address this chaos by using the doj to police the police. jason, i'm going to start with you. will policing the police stop crime? >> jason: that are policemen that need to have her view, and there are bad cops out there, no doubt about it. when you lead with that, when you are a person that's the vice presidential pick, kamala harris, out there paying bail to get people who'd been accused of rioting and doing those types and looting and that sort of thing to get them out of

jail and get them back on the streets as fast as possible. when you support policies in these big cities like no cash bail and things like that, you're going to see the morale for police just plummet. in new york city alone, the number of shootings compared to last year is double, double. guess what, when you take a billion dollars out of the police budget, take it out of the school system, and you belittled the police officers time and time again, you're going to have a record high number of people retiring and you're going to see crime go up. it's one of those, well duh, what did you think was going to happen? as long as the democratic policies are in place the situation is going to get worse. >> lisa: you have people like house majority web james clyburn that said the defund the police rhetoric was was possible for democrats losing so badly down valid. why haven't democrats learn their lesson? >> jessica: i think the democrats that won the races have learned their lessons. joe biden set from the get-go i

haven't had any intention of defunding the police. nobody wants it, especially communities where the police a are. the highest approval rating for police in areas where there's more crime. that makes a tremendous amount of sense. i don't see that from people in positions of power. you don't have any tape of nancy pelosi saying defund the police. it's a far left trope and i did hurt us in those races. i would encourage everyone to listen to abigail spanberger who barely won reelection talking about how discussions of socialism and defunding the police hurt her in her own race and jim was lost because of it. i think it's incredibly harmful because it isn't true and it's not a democratic policy. >> lisa: not making the police target by saying we want to police the police? is that the issue? >> jessica: i don't think it's the issue. it speaks to what jason is saying biden has been clear that he doesn't think it's a blanket statement about police officers

that they are all like derek chauvin. but we need to make sure bad apples are pushed out and i think it's important also that we acknowledge the circumstances right now, the economic downturn. people have not been in work. folks are at home. you are going to see surges in crime. >> lisa: dagen, respond to that. is it the economic downturn? what is behind the spike in murders and crime that we are seeing a child many american cities? >> dagen: bad left-wing liberal policies put in place by the people or her elected. the people in new york city and now los angeles county to name two places. they are getting what they voted for. here in new york city it's hell on earth. earlier this year, both camel harassed by the way and joe biden proposed getting rid of cash bail. new york did that. you're arrested for manslaughter need didn't have to post bail. arrested for arson. you didn't have to put up bail. arrested for assaulting an

11-year-old child. you didn't have to put up bail. it was so bad and crime spiked so quickly that they had to reform it in a matter of months. what you are still seeing in new york city because those elected leaders from the governor andy cuomo on down to the mayor bill de blasio and also the d.a. here in new york city, they turned their backs on the police. you had a spike in retirements and it's not to shootings. murder is up 39% in the last year here in new york. grand larceny auto. up 68%. you have no way of defending yourself because the second amendment doesn't exist here for law-abiding citizens. the people who have the guns are rich and famous people who knew folks in power and criminals. i'm thinking about carrying a hockey stick next time just in case i get chased again which has actually happened. >> lisa: lawrence, i want to

get you in here. joe biden has a mixed record here. spearheaded the 1994 bill and now he's saying the police officers need to be policed. i can't keep track. where do you think is going to stand al on all of this? >> jessica: we have to wait and see. he's become a political chameleon. depending on who's in the room, you'll get a different answer. i've been reporting on this river for the pandemic. i've seen warm blood spilled on the ground. i've interviewed families. kids of been shot. i don't mean a 17-year-old. i mean a 6-year-old, 5-year-old. it happens every week. the reason we have this issue, whether it's the violence on the streets or the disarray between the police departments. everyone wants to choose a side of this debate. we are all created equal and government needs to acknowledge that when dealing with these

crises. when people are being shot or gunned down in the streets, the state needs to go after them. when there's abuse of power by the state, they need to go after them without fear of favor. when law enforcement officers are attacked simply because they were blue and do their job and because people don't like them, people need to be prosecuted. everyone wants to choose a bucket when all buckets by the constitution are created equal. >> dagen: can i just say one thing? i want to mention the name of kennedy maxey. she was 7 years old and she was struck by a bullet. it passed through her car. she was out christmas shopping with her mother and her aunt. she succumbed to the injuries on saturday. that was in atlanta. let's name all of those people who lost their lives because of senseless violence and because police, people don't have their

backs. >> lisa: good point, dagen mcdowell. we're going to leave it there and pray for her family. next, the media admitting that they plan to go easy on joe biden after terrorizing president trump. ♪ smooth driving pays off you never been in better hands allstate click or call for a quote today to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't.

showed. i imagine there are a lot of reporters who do have hard-hitting questions and hopefully joe biden and kamala harris will be open to them. i've always been an advocate for that from policy positions are talking about hunter biden. i think it's important to put it all out there. we would be remiss if we didn't discuss the fact that president trump continued to go back to outlets that were favorable to him and when he actually sat down with tough interviewers, leslie stoller chris wallace, he was reduced almost to tears. he brought big books of fake papers. chris wallace, he was defending i.q. tests or he had to identify something as an elephant and he said it was the toughest test in the world. it's not a man who likes to be pushed. >> lawrence: didn't come on fox news because he couldn't take the pressure. >> jessica: chris wallace works for us. >> lawrence: i think the press proof where they stood on many issues when they concealed the

hunter biden story. it's true that the justice department didn't make an announcement was linked to them and they decided not to report it. i don't think the american people want to press to pretend like they are unbiased but they do expect them to be fair. i think a lot of the criticism of what we saw from a lot of the president, the fact that it seemed like the media despised his supporters. it's one thing to criticize the president and take him on. i don't like many of the policies which is why i don't go to their parties or anything like that. the fact that they wouldn't cover the stories that matter to the audience, half the country, i think it showed a lot of where they stand. yes there will be a return to normal. >> jason: lisa, your comments. >> lisa: those are the questions joe biden got on the campaign trail. we don't have a press corps anymore. the mainstream is a bunch of left-wing partisan hacks and the best thing about the past four years is that president trump has gotten them to drop their

cloaks and show us the partisan hacks that they are. it's so much healthier as a society for everyone to know where these people stand. they don't have the interest of the american people at heart. they have the interest of propagating left-wing propaganda while trying to hurt republicans. it's on full display for the past four years. everyone's eyes are open. >> jason: dagen, what's your view? >> dagen: is jim acosta so for quitted a pumpkin headed that he doesn't realize that proposing is the worst thing that could happen for his career. he's not good on tv. the only reason people would watch him is because folks hated may be trope as much as jim acosta. hated trope. the only thing that would make him less appealing on television is the talk to like christiane amanpour. i'm a journalist and reporter and i follow the facts. there is never any issues in
