tammy bruce.com. what a a year. never boring and we've got more coming up. an honor to be with you here, happy new year to everyone watching t and thank you for tuning in for its day right there. another one of your favorites, lisa boothe filling in for laura ingraham. welcome aboard. >> lisa: it's great to see you. happy new year. >> tammy: same to you, my dear. >> lisa: thank you. as tammy said, i am lisa boothe in for laura ingraham and this is a special edition of "the ingraham angle" live from miami.es evidence coming up that formal and other democrats failed to contain the covid crisis. we talked to the two new york city restaurant owner is in danger of closing down for good because a blue state and competence. and it is joe biden about the surrender of the country to china? gordon chang breaks down how china plans to overtake the united states. plus it's been a banner year for the liberal media.

we will expose all the worst moments, there are a lot, and we are about to say goodbye to 2020, thank god. but what should we look forward to to 2021? stick around for that. is it time to blame the bluete states, evidence piling up that cuomo, newsom, other blue state governors failed in managing the coronavirus crisis. california hitting a new one day covid death record as the blue state has been practicing severe societal restrictions for months now.ic five los angeles area hospitals may declare internal disasters and new data even shows that without california's surge, u.s. numbers would actually be declining. yet the blue state is about to double down on its seemingly ineffective stay-at-home orders. we've got former trump 2020 strategic communications mark water and david avella joining me now for a conversation on this. i want to start with you.

we look at what's happening in california, despite these strict lockdowns, despite these strict responses to the coronavirus, they are seeing this charge, the highest one-day death toll in the state and this all happens as governor newsom is facing a recall effort. how much political pressure is hes facing? >> i think he's under a lot of political pressure. but you look at his own citizens, they are suffering not just from the coronavirus, but restaurants, businesses that are shutting down, people without incomes, people who watch movie theaters and movie production companies go to work but they cannot go to work. it's just the perfect example of california being another one of those liberal bastions, do as i say, not as i do, because it's clearly not working.ve >> lisa: we've seen for the past few months, the media has piled on republicans, republican governors, they responds, give the pass to governor newsom

governor newsom, and governor cuomo. i remember back in april when georgia was reopening their economy and so was colorado, one a red state, the other a blue state with governor jared poli polis'. but essentially murdering georgia voters, you didn't get that for governor -- what kind of bias have we seen from the media on its coverage of the coronavirus? >> i think the three of us can agree that seven months of media touting cuomo and newsom as the adults in the room on covid is the equivalent of suggesting that hilaria should be the ambassador to spain and! these two go -- >> lisa: she might be under biden. who knows... >> proven that you might not be able to give everybody help, but you can sure put the fear into them. not only those who are fearful of getting covid and not being

able to get a vaccine and those who are genuinely concerned about their health. but equally, the restaurant owners, the waiters and waitresses, shopkeepers, their employees who are concerned that their jobs are going to be gone. it is why you see ultimately folks voting with their feet. the two states that have led the migration out of their state is california and new york. most states, the two states with the most migration outcome in california and new york this year.fo >> lisa: right here, i left new york to move to miami. i'm a testament to that. i want to get your response peer joe biden has been taking some cheap shots at president trump's unprecedented vaccine rollout. he did this yesterday. listen to what he had to say. >> the trump ministrations plan for the vaccine plan is falling far behind.

we have only vaccinated a few billion so far and he continues to move and now, going take years to vaccinate the american people. >> lisa: this is someone whose incoming chief of staff says they've got lucky that the h1n1 is at a huge mass casualty effect, said it's too hard, why does anyone on gods green earth think that joe biden can lead during a time of crisis? >> he can't. he showed that the entire campaign. his entire covid campaign is i will do what president trump already dead and we've seen that here in transition where it is president trump, operationalid warp speed back on the vaccines approved, got the vaccines out there, we've seen millions of people have already been vaccinated and millions more

were on the way. going back to your earlier point, looking at governor cuomo who thinks that addicts should be in the high-priority list where you have somebody like governor desantis, governor governor abbott, first responders, others in our senior centers should be the first told get the -- it is not the trump administration is hahandling this, it's the democratic governor's mishandling this because they will continue to do it. we have already seen that joe biden going to blamen everything on trump, even after he gets into the oval office. >> lisa: staying on this governor cuomo topic, expanding his newfound authority to cover distribution for the vaccine. recently announced that as mark pointed out in rehab are next to get this be 26 vaccine but here's what happens with others such as doctors and health care providers decide that they want to exercise their professional judgment and determining who should retain the vaccine.

>> there is not going to be any politics at play as to who gets the vaccine. the executive order i'm going to sign today says a provider could be fined up to a million dollars and revocation of all state licenses. if you engage in fraud in this vaccine, we will remove your license to practice in the state of new york. >> lisa: this is the guy who early on in the pandemic mandated that nursing homes takings be 26 patient toes, is he really the one to point to to figure out how this vaccine dispersion should go down? >> the fact that andrew cuomo is writing a book on leadership dealing with covid before we conquered the pandemic is all we need to know about andrew 's style.eadership maybe it is a good following foremost democrats in that biden

is following trump's plan. may be governors can look at ron desantis who has given floridians as much information as possiblee and let them determine how much quarantine they shouldne do. governors in nebraska, kristi noem alton south dakota who have their own employment rates below 6.5%. hopefully the democratic governors will look at where the success is occurring and decide they want to replicate it. >> lisa: there is the hypocrisy ofom all of this, lets take a little trip down memory lane. >> i take my personal hygiene very seriously. needed to have a haircut. >> made a mistake. telling people they can't eat. i made a mistake.

>> mark, rules for thee, not for me. >> we've seen that the entire pandemic. let us also remember that the joe biden, kamala harris spent the last few month attacking the virus, questioning whether they would even take it approvedut under a trump administration. but now after the election is over, they were the one saying it was a miracle, they should go out and get it. it was whatever benefits them politically. but once the election is behind them, they get behind president trump and agree with whatever he's doing while criticizing him for doing it. >> lisa: 20 seconds before we've got to go, close us out. >> empathy is important in politics. you have to relate to the concerns people have in every one of those clips you showed our politicians who don't understand what americans are going through, hence you have

some of these democratic governors' approval ratings going down every month. >> lisa: they are hypocrites and it's disgusting. gentlemen, thank you both. >>h thank you, lisa. >> lisa: the cobid dell 326 pandemics that will all goes over to 406,000 americans per the strategy setting up on both affected by lockdowns and other statin home orders. "new york times" reports that elderly patients are dying of loneliness and warning that suicides are on the rise. joining me now is bay area trauma surgeon sounding the alarm on these tragic consequences of lockdowns. the focus on thiset conversation has been lockdowns andlt addressing the public health crisis of covid, but are there other unintended health consequences here of the lockdowns? >> absolutely, lisa.

the lockdowns have caused tremendous social unrest. they are leading to significant upheaval in people's lives, people are missing their insurance. we see mental health problems, increased suicide, increased drug overdoses. it's having a significance of facts on these people. that's really what got us to a letter to the county because they did not really appreciate our questioning in public health policies. >> lisa: why do you think that's being discussed more, why do we not hear this in the media? >> san francisco released a thing showing there are three times more overdose deaths than there were covid deaths this year. covid is nearly in the news but drug overdose is a true public

health emergency and it's getting more attention. >> lisa: what are the long-term effects here for all ofef this? >> that they are really impossible to calculate. our kids have been out of school for a whole year. how are they ever going to regain an entire year of their education? it is lost. those costs are incalculable. >> lisa: what about the mental health aspects for many children across the country? >> there are increasing suicides in children and young adults. the cdc just a report earlier this month, excessive deaths are something you can sort of way how much a pandemic is affecting society. what they found is prettyet interesting pair they found the greatest percentage increase in

excessive deaths were in the 25-44-year-old age group. we keep hearing that this really affects old people. we know that the virus, the virus and generally affects old people. but what are these other excessive deaths from? these excessive deaths have to be associated with the pandemic like mental health, suicides, drug overdoses, people who lose health care because these areth the working class people, they lose their jobs and they lose theirir health care. people afraid to go to the hospital, lots of reasons for these excess deaths outside of being killed by a virus. >> lisa: this isn't the first time i'm hearing some of these numbers and that response which saddens meme because we should e talking about the totality of the coronavirus and the public healthth response and what that means for so many americans across the country and we are looking at places like new york,

california, going down in lockn down mode again do lockdowns work? >> lisa: that's highly questionable. as a , >> that's highly questionable. as a surgeon, i qualify risk every day and i have to make sure that i'm going to make my patients better, not worse. if i recommend a surgery or some kind of treatment, you have to weigh those downsides of treatment. even the state, they are not really weighing the risks of the downsides of these lockdowns. >> when people do point out, they get possessed by the media. when you guys are the ones who were right about this, but the r media doesn't want to listen, the doctors fauci pluralists of the world we keep getting every single thing wrong, yet they are propped up h as heroes when

they've gotten it all wrong. doctor, i've learned a lot. i really appreciate you joining us. restaurant owners are struggling right now as cities and states cracked down and push stricter lockdowns. new york city is getting so bad, one restaurant owner said the government is playing russian roulette with his livelihood. owner of italian restaurant. ian want to start with you. my heart goes out to you. my condolences to you and your family. you lost your father, you came over here from greece at the age of 14, started his first restaurant in 1989. why didn't you get in the restaurant industry and what did it mean tot him? >> restaurants, you come here with nothing, didn't speak a word of english, you either

cleaned up debris at a construction site orr cleaned up fascias and it's the drive to prepare for your family, grow, be something more then any chance you had anywhere else, a chance that you had in the golden streets as they were told in greece, when they get here you are going to see them, they had to make their old and golden streets here. they strived and it's all has been gone, all taken away. back in his time when he first came here he didn't speak a word of english. however old he was, opened his first place but that's unheard of now. you have both parents working, barely making ends meet and the idea that the government can come in and this has never happened before, they can come in and shut you down, what's going to happen the next time, this precedent set ince this era is a disaster. he got in this industry because it meant putting a smile in people's faces.nd that's what we do day in and day out. what was happening at home, he

goes into work and he smiles for the world and he comes back home, he'd come back home and just collapse and that's what every restaurant owners does. the world sees the super social, the owner occupied a palpably business everyone istaught, trained, fees and is supposed to literally radiate that to the world and you go to a restaurant because theyto give you an escape. >> lisa: they do. and an affair for you and your family as well. in 1944, family owned, family managed, tells tell us what it meansto your fa. >> it means so much to us. my father, god bless us, he started when he was 12. my past father, call them patsy, first shaft, my dad and myself, i'm the third chef in 76 years.

it's really horrible. i would really like to submit to you that closing down restaurants may be actually contributing more to the spread of coronavirus as my friend andrea's just said, people want an escape. they want to go out and have fun. you are locking people up and living rooms and we have a government that says, follow the science, follow the science. the science says the spread is 74% in living rooms and 1.4% in restaurants. take away bars from that, one half off 1%, one half of 1% is the spread in restaurants. let me tell you, living rooms are great with your families. theyun no control, you can havea lot of people there. when someone walks in ane restaurant, they've got to get there temperature plus we had to put in 13 filters

which is manned and aided mandated by thet government. active air technology, a special thing that is called bipolar ionization that actually kills the virus. this is the stuff they use in hospitals, the same system they use in hospitals.bm i submit to you that you may actually be contributing to the spread by having people stay home here this is what my wife is saying, have to give her credit. she is definitely smarter. >> lisa: you know, you certainly have a really interesting perspective in thisi not only is a deeply personal and having suffered great losses to covid, but also with your business, the result of these government mandate policies, how else would be seeing both of the sides shake your viewpoint on

speed 26? >> it's personal, business, professional. on top of it i'm a restaurant lawyer. i deal with hundreds of restaurants, this is what i've done this whole d career. i lose my dad. do i turn on a light to focus on money and make outgoingon deliveries, or do i actually figure out what's going to be the best, invest a ton of money, nobody else is doing it, beautiful store, beautiful sto story, reinventing, >> lisa: i'm so sorry, we are running out of time for it i want to get sal in here. what is your message to governor cuomomo? >> i don't want to blame anyone in particular. i submit to you, please follow the science.

1.4% in bars, 74% living room spread. ensure that this does not cause harm. there is nothing for people to do, they need to get out of the house, the need to enjoy or celebrate this or be social with people. >> lisa: you are a lot nicer than me. i will fully blame governor cuomo. but, cuomo, you are to blame and you are a terrible governor. thank you for joining me. coming up, the worst media offenders of the year, the income angle has got its eyes on you. the video you do not want to miss is next. who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. -what? you mean-- -mm-hm. just like that.

are going to be right there. what am i saying? big mistake. >> it's really easy to be numb to liberal media bias these days and 2020 proved to be no different. "the ingraham angle" is keeping track ofof the worst offenders n the year. accuracy in the media president ada the liberal media revealed its true colors literally weeping on election night. >> tell them the truth matters. being a good person matters. >> i don't know why i'm crying so much. >> didn't expect to be so overwhelmed. >> it's... i almost can't talk right now because of the emotion. >> lisa: one of the best things that has happened over the past four years is the liberal media has been forced to drop this cloak of fake objectivity and we all see them for the partisans they are.

>> yes, that's right. i think there is a serious rock that has come to underlie the national liberal mainstream media, whatever you want to call it, all of their standards are just gone with the wind. they are open partisans in this in a way may be one of president trump's biggest services to america. decades ago, historians in the kennedy days of all days saying, i goe back with reporters cheering for john f. kennedy in the 1960 election all said they felt like theyfe were soldiers o the new frontier with jfk. it iss out there. the president sees it, there is a real rock, and i think they've got to make up some serious soul-searching about this. not that'll happen. >> lisa: right. yeah. what does that mean for the media then? now that everybody sees them for the partisans that they are?

>> i thought they did a good job because in the absence of professional football we needed to see cheerleaders, and these guys were openly cheerleaders were joe biden all fall. >> lisa: i'm envisioning jim acosta in a cheerleading outfito [laughter] >> please... >> lisa:ee it's not a pretty sight. i need to get it out of my head. jus >> qassem soleimani was a national hero... pick a very heroic, troops love him. >> smart, charismatic, ruthless, strategic, bold. qassem soleimani was no ordinary hero. >> lisa: taking out a top terrorist is a good thing, in my book? >> the media thought it was a good thing when the president was barack obama and took out usama bin laden and good for

him. they all cheered him on. this is so blatant, if donald trump does something, it's bad. if anybody else does something, it's true. it's frankly damaging their own reputation. >> lisa: president trump said if i cure cancer, i will still get criticized over it. but he probably would. >> he absolutely would end in this case was truly outrageous. this is serious. they claimed that trump was beholden to the religious right. they celebrated a religious monster in iran. they claimed he was against muslims because of his travel ban but look at how iran treats their muslims, see how the allies in the communist chineseo government, look how they treat the uighur muslims. their actions are obnoxious and this is why the american people don't trust them. >> lisa: the american liberal media couldn't admit that the ploy to protest what exactly peaceful.

>> this is mostly a protest. it is not generally speaking unruly. there have been fire started. >> destroying property which can be replaced is not violent. any reasonable person said that we should not be destroying other people's p property but these are not reasonable times. >> lisa: this pretty much sums up the media to me, fires rage in the background. >> they don't care that you can see it. it's happening right in front of your own eyes and yet they are going to tell you down is up and up is down. american people don't believe it and they no longer have great ability. that's the problem in a democratic society. >> lisa: don't believe your lying eyes, right? >> this was peak orwell. this is the worst we've seen all

year. our activists sent thousands of emails t to the washington they actually gotctpolitical cod english dictionaryli who in the midst of this redefined the word riots so that these sort of things wouldn't be included. it's obnoxiouslyif outrageous. >> there were no social distancing at these things eitherci. >> lisa: apparently that was safe because there that was for abetter because aco people in the medical field as well. the u.s. postal service was going to rig the election for trump. >> hiring freeze, massive reorganization of top postal service leaders led by the postmaster general. is this an attempt by the president to interfere in the election? >> absolutely. >> who are they being replaced? >> tampering with the postal service, putting his knee on the

neck of american democracy. >> lisa: jeff, there is never any accountability for anything with the media. >> they get to say anything they want and they'll never be held toto account for it. that's the thing. frankly, lisa, that's why conservative media, rush limbaugh, all sorts of others, laura, sean, came to be precisely because of this and that's why they have an audience. >> lisa: do we ever get to a point where these people wake up ande sort of realize their ways or is that wishful thinking? >> if you look at the numbers, if you look at the pure research surveys, the media critically are not very popular anymore. this narrative, this soap the only conspiracy with the postal service is the notion they had any business having the federal government delivering mail in the year 2020. we got ups, fedex, email. the notion that they are

delivering parcells, that's the. conspiracy. >> lisa: this is what really makes me so mad. the liberal media buried the hunter biden investigation sayingng it was russian disinformation. >> the business dealings connected to son hunter is connected to an ongoing russian disinformation effort. >> classichi a example of the right-wing media machine? >> example of steve bannon giving an attempt to new york media reporter. >> rudy giuliani coordinating with russian disinformation he here? >> lisa: we've got the media who lied about russia, the russia hoax for years, who blames russia on swaying the 2016 election, actively working to sway the 2020 election in joe biden's favor. >> that's absolutely right and you can believe that part of that hunter biden story, they want to ignore any and all of

the bidens' ties to china. what is going to be our china policy? are they going to play hide the ball on this? this is not acceptable. this is the left-wing media machine playing hide and seek with national security. it's not good. media research center did a survey on this. 45% were unaware of the hunter biden story and its 9.4% would've change their vote had they known. that was the intent of the media all along, wasn't it? >> absolutely. they said they didn't cover it because they didn't believe the emails were real. they refused to look at them! we were "new york times,""washington pot with their investigative resources refused to look at the emails.

why a question didn't want to damage any of the potential allies coming into office but they want to stop attending they are generalists and acknowledge that they are activists. >> lisa: on top of all of that, softball questions. >> how can you ensure americans that relief will come and come soon? >> the most interesting questi question. >> you announce some key membe members, a very diverse group, clearly you try to send a message, can you articulate what that message is? >> lisa: joe biden, why are you so awesome? that's basically what we got from the media, jeff? >> my favorite was do you like vanilla or chocolate ice cream. >> lisa: yeah! >> i am not making that up.

god bless peter doocy from box out there trying to ask serious questions because they don't want to do it. we are going through this the next four years and the media itself is going to have to be held to account. as i said, there is a serious rot underlying media when it acts like this and it's not good. >> lisa: are we going to get any tough questions from the media to joe biden? >> certainly not. in all honesty, it's rare to see biden engage with the media. trump may be adversarial with the media but at least he talked to them. he gets softballs when he pays them the easiest amount of attention paid that's why we needed to investigate of journalism to hold the media accountable in these politicians accountable. >> lisa: there is so much criticism on president trump and his outlook on the media and as you pointed out joe biden wouldn't talk to the media, doesn't give them the time, doesn't actually answer their questions pure they are all

hypocrites. happy new year to you both. coming up, we are going to make a few new year predictions. unfortunately, not all of them areot good. standing by with what we might see in 2021.

sons and daughters safe. >> lisa: we see the proponents of groups like black lives matter pushing for defund the police, they say they are trying to help black americans but they are the ones disproportionately impacted by it decreased police presence.is whyed are they pushing for these policies where it actually hurts minorities? >> ultimately the results are disastrous for the very dni communities, the proponents of these planning to take the intentions are always great, the outcomes are always disastrous. just like the war, and competitions between states where appeasement begets further aggression, you see the exact same thing with off the streets, guarantee of furtherer lawlessness, andne it hurts the most vulnerable americans t amog us and that's a disaster for all of society.

>> lisa: the worst policies always defy logic and reasons and i want to get your take on this as well. tweeted this about the international agreement made in the last four years. sad, demonstrate the trump administration's unwavering effort to secure america's borders from an illegal entry by working closely w with regional partners. without these agreements we'dts likely see waves of attempted legal entries similar to 2019. ourto collaborative report with whatever attacks the homeland from uncontrolled mass migration. this is something that president trump never got credit for but he did things like the threat of terrorists from mexico to step up on illegal immigration and it worked, didn't it? >> it sure did, lisa. that's what we need to do. you are not a country if you don't control your borders. i'm married to an immigrant, a

legal immigrant, from cuba. if you want to come to america and be american by choice, it's great to be an american by choice, you need an invitation. it's not too much to ask, a tsunami of illegal immigrants does nothing but disrupt and cause economic and social upheaval. that's why no country lets it borders to wide open. >> lisa: it's unfair to people waiting inin line to wait to do things the right way to come here in the united states. >> lawlessness begets more lawlessness. the people who are deserving and actually ascribe to our values and principles and contributed to this country are the ones who suffer most of the indicated a "return to normalcy" when it comes to our borders when it comes to lawlessness, it's because of the promise of

amnesty that they pursue. >> lisa: it also hurts working-class voters the left purportss they care about but they don't. we will also see a push towards socialism fromed the left in 20, debbie perdue had this to say for those critical races in georgia. c >> people realize what is at stake here. we are the last line of defense against the democratic onslaught in this radical socialist agenda that we've gained these two seats in republican hands, we can block with these democrats are trying to do and protect what president trump has done over the last few years. >> lisa: the real fear is democrats can blow up the filibuster for some serious left-wing politics. >> as it has been literally in every place, 2021, 100 years a

ago, created the first socialist nation. a lot of people seem to be shot by the government. this is not so great. work and you go 100 million not one where canyou go where 100 ms are piled up by these socialisto onto it? it's all about power.he there is no good intention. these people are garbage and you've got to fight them to the last. >> lisa: i agree. ben, before we have to go. >> you can guarantee socialism in this country, socialized medicine, it's a recipe for absolute calamity. >> lisa: andrew cuomo is not a moderate. while biden is begging for world partners, china is taking over. something europe just did that

says loud and clear they think is a new world power and, guess what, it's not us. gordon chang is next.

>> we aren't investing with our investors around the world to strengthen our health systems

elsewhere, we are underlining underminingour ability to defea. stronger when we build coalitions with like-minded partners and allies. >> lisa: biden is waiting for his world partner, europe and china are going at it alone signing a new investment treaty. this as a new report says that china will overtake the united states to be the largest economy five years sooner than expected. here with us is g gordon chang, author of th "the great u.s.-cha tech war." how do you make of that, china five years earlier will be on top of the food chaine economically. >> lisa, i don't believe it -- >> lisa: why is that? >> china's numbers are false. what i'm concerned about, biden will rescue it. just to give you an example.

today, and i mean literally today, big-box retailers are canceling their orders with u.s. producers and they are placing those orders with china and they are doing that because we believe that biden will cancel president trump's section 301 tariffs that are meant to be the theft of u.s. and literal property for the smart money is, look, we are going to sort of go after u.s. manufacturing, going to cut it to pieces because we want to make our things and china. this is how the big money is thinking that biden will handle the u.s.s. >> lisa: what will that mean for the united states? >> it really means that our manufacturing sector is going to be gutted even further when it doesn't have to be. all the big-box retailers now are rushing to china. they started doing that, actually, on november 4th a day after the election and they are continuing to do it now as they cancel u.s. manufacturers.

that meansrs we are going to hae more gutted communities, we are going to have more fentanyl, more hopelessness. this doesn't have to be. president trump's tariffs were a good thing for u.s. manufacturing and i hope that president biden will actually continue that. >> lisa: as we saw on election night when china's currency when people thought it looked like president trump might pull it off, it took a nosedive, that kind of tells the story, doesn't that? >> it certainly does because it shows what the financial markets thought and indeed around asia, there is a lot of despair when it came apparent that trump would not be reelected. that tells you what a lot oft people in the region thing. biden thinks about all these coalitions but the real coalition builder is president trump. he built the wild, operationalized it, that's the united state united states-japan-australia-in dia, and built other side in

asia in the middle east with the abraham records which are meant to contain iran and china. that was president trump. >> lisa: why do you think you never got any credit for that? >> i don't know. he certainly should have. when you look at the reality, president trump did a great job in containing china with our partners in that division. >> lisa: we've got someone whose son has been doinger business with the chinese government or companies tied to it. gordon, thank you. silicon valley bringing youou a creepy prenew year's dance par party. the slap fight next.
